only because of the PQ, which is probably some little spine split somewhere, on an otherwise nice paged copy yah, crack it out Alex, and see if it's likely 99% cr/ow (thumbs u
Or the spine may turn to dust but I'm sure it's 99% crm/ow
I was thinking about doing it eventually - and re-subbing to get the new case and modern label. (Not for a higher grade - but it would be nice)
I am a little scared to crack now though.
I have owned very few brittle or slightly brittle books in my time but when I have the books always look darker and on the one brittle book I owned the pages where almost brown.
But that is not the case on this Tec 31 - pages look at worst cream/ow but I suspect better.
And like you said gator, primetime, and t3quila it may be 99% say cream/ow or better but 1% might be slightly brittle somewhere - surely could be the spine area. It is slightly darker there.
might be worth the re-sub..hard to say if the grade or PQ would bump
