This is an August 1970 copy, I believe this to be a third print copy

 

Thanks

Gotta love Crumb! The scan is a bit fuzzy, but this looks like a real nice copy... I'll say 9.2-9.4... you know, I looked at the spine more and also noticed a crease or two.. I'm gonna amend and say 8.5-9.0

9.0-9.2...NICE ONE!

9.0

I was thinking more like an 8.0 due to spine stress. Kinda tough to tell the extent of it from the scan.

Another for 8.0. Nice book.

When looking at it, in hand, you can see about 8 spine stress lines, including 5 that break color, you really have to look close to see them. There is a light crease that originates from the spine and extends through the upper portion of the M in MR., this does not break color. There is also about two light reading type creases around the area of the guy, whom is being booteds' shoes, that have a slight color break. Amazing how there can be so many spine tics yet the corners are all sharp. Can't find any other defects. I'm guessing an 8.0 or 8.5 if I'm lucky.

 

Thanks for all of the replies and compliments.....

Love that R. Crumb!

Very well taken care of. Some abrasion on the upper spine corner and a few spine creases on the front cover; looks like a crease across “the suits” butt; some spine creases on the back cover… NM- VF+ ??

Keep On Trucken’!!!

Forgot to add, that if the inside front cover looks like this, then it's probably a 3rd print.

If not, then it might be a 5th or 6th.

Also, I believe the first printing has a larger margin on the back cover - almost an inch wide at base and LE

[CAMERANIAC]

From what I could gather from checking the site that 50 cent mentioned, the width of the bc art and the info on the splash page, says that it's a 3rd print. I'll find out for sure because I plan on having it slabbed, just because I can.

 

I'll be sure to post it in this thread so we can see the results.

It's called the "indicia", and I agree - looks like a 3rd print.

Thank you for correcting me Divad.
