Excuse my composure for a moment....

 

NO FREAKIN WAY!! :frustrated:

 

...ok, I'm back.

 

I gave it an 8.0. I thought there was some major rounding going on on the back left corner, but even without that, I wouldn't have gone that high with it.

Get back to the back of the bus, dork :applause:

 

:censored:

:whistle:

WOW. I did too. Looks like I am well out of the top three after that one! :o

 

Me too God I suck! I have undergraded almost all of them. :frustrated:

Damn I thought I bumped it high enough to a 9.0!!!

 

You asked too many questions and jinxed yourself :makepoint:

 

But if I didn't ask the questions this time I would have given it around 8.0 to 8.5! :)

 

i feel the same way about this book. try as i might, i still have to figure out how a book with two verified corner creases and 5 spine nicks can grade a 9.4 for the FC and then only lose a .2 for another verified corner crease, 3 visible spine bends and a chewed up lower edge...........

 

i'm at a loss and so were the 80% of the contestants that undergraded this book, while only 3.5% overgraded it............... :P
