Personally I would not buy a mis-wrapped book like that regrdless of the numeralical grade.

Ditto. As mis-wrap go that one is a fugly.

You know how I am about Green Rivers...especially FF's ...I turned down the chance to buy this book when I had it....I just couldn't do it. Still a nice book, but.....

Maybe the pressing factory got a little excited with that one. I have got to learn how to press books.

Double Ditto.

Based on the title of this thread I was thinking of something far different and far more delicious.

I'm getting pickier as well as I mature as a collector. As a result I'm also seeing less realized for books that make the grade b/c of the visual imperfections. This one is impacted in multiple ways:

• It is a slant mis wrap, which is the worse of all miswraps. There are some collectors that are ok with miswraps that are even. When uneven you rule out these collectors as potential bidders.
  
• It is also miscut from a horizontal perspective, as there is text missing from the top. Some collectors can't stand that.

So no, this has nothing to do with the possibility of pressing.

In the old days when I used to grade on appearance rather than technical grade I would have given this a VGD/FN.

I *hate* to see much white on a spine. If it's uneven it's worse.

IHOP = International House of Pressing.

i believe it was Marnin that came up w/ the "pancake" connotation for fugly pressed books.

Yeah, much as I'd like to think it was a strike against undisclosed pressing, it's undoubtedly the wrap.
