  1. 9.2 with that blunted bottom spine. Beautiful book!
  2. 9.0. I think the very clean edges and corners, and the bright colors, offset the handful of spine ticks. Not sure how they would consider the publisher's stamp (since it is more than just a distributor's date stamp) -- I love the historicity of the stamp, however.
  3. Without the stain, after a press I think it would get a 6.0 - 6.5. With the stain, 3.5 - 4.0
  4. 5.5. Not sure how much a dry cleaning would help, but could see a 6.0 if successfully cleaned and pressed.
  5. Numerous spine tics and some small color-breaking creases along the edges and at the front corners. Back cover in good shape. Presents well. Anywhere 6.5-7.5.
  6. Beautiful cover! Presents well -- get that corner pressed out, and I think 7.5 or even an 8 if the grader is feeling generous.
  7. Some moderate chipping along the top, lower left corner and bottom right. Slight tanning along the right edge. Not sure if that is water damage towards the top of the spine above the staple. Are those original staples? Seem kind of shiny. Spine is noticeably dirty. Presents well. If those are not the original staples, 4.5? Not sure if there is a max grade if cover is detached. If they are original, 5.5 -6.0.
  8. I am going to assume the back cover is in about the same shape as the front cover. You have an inch-long color-breaking crease at the bottom near the spine. The bottom spine is torn up. Tears on the bottom front cover. Corner creasing on the upper and lower right cover. Creasing and some blunting damage at the upper spine. Writing on cover. The yellow in the splash box seems blotchy or faded, but that could be original. Cover has noticeable dirt along right edge. 4.5 to 5.0, I think.
  9. With a cleaning and pressing out those spine horizontal creases, I think this might garner a 7.5.
