    Pence: Nice copy. Absolutely raw. No retouching or trimming etc at all. Small stain and damage where price sticker had been. Pics taken in very strong side light - this has made the creases on the back cover look much more exaggerated than they are. Would benefit from a clean and press but this is a really nice copy. Any serious interest I can do more pics but these show all the wear. £600 UK freepost. Cents: Nice copy with mild colour retouching on cover creases. All wear is shown in these pics.Creases are partial subscription fold + others. Retouching is pro so creases only properly show if book is held at an angle to direct light like a window etcNo trimming. Very slightly misaligned top right.I can take more pics if any serious interest.Overall a really nice looking book - when bagged looks extremely nice.I don't know if anyone would agree/disagree but I think for general appearance a similar raw one would probably be around £1000..?£575 - frree post in UK. PayPal "goods and services" Postage £10 UK - overseas please ask Returns - would prefer no returns as I am happy to do loads of pics + forensic descriptions including musty smell if any etc etc - I've got 12 years perfect scores on ebay that I can show

    I don't know if anyone else would agree but I think 50s punch a bit above their weight in value against condition due to it being such a lovely cover + extremely hard to get in decent nick. Probably averagely no more worn than any other book but every little fault shows upe esp colour beaks.

    Interesting cheers again everyone. I bought this to sell and I hope to do quite well with it. I've seen a pence copy with more wear go for over £700 GBP. I'd love an 8.5 or 9 to keep but no chance of that they're thousands.

    Cheers so far chaps. Yeah I think a clean and press would help visually but I'm very tempted to leave as is so its completely raw. I don't know if others would agree..? I don't know if a clean and press would up the grade much..?

    Cheers - seems a bit low. A bit lower than average..?
  25. mike devon
    Cheers. I thought 6. What do you think it is that others are marking it down on..? Or what are your reasons for giving it a 6..?

    Its not the same book as a few days ago its a pence one - that other one was cents.
  28. mike devon
    Yeah - 'feel' is definitely a thing.
  29. mike devon
    Well it matters to me with this one as I'll be selling it and I don't want to whack either myself or the potential buyer.
  30. mike devon
    Absolutely. I think though sometimes photos can reverse flatter..?
