5.5 if it's old enough for the GA bump

Nice-looking book! Tough to grade... strong mid-grade at first glance, but looks like there's some silverfish nibbles on spine and around edges, as well as the missing chip. 4.0/4.5 range seems about right.

I think so as well. I had a chance to buy this book when it was slabbed. CGC had it as a 4.0. The dealer unslabbed the book becuase he felt it was a 4.5. I'm not sure that was a wise move.

Great book. Wish all my VGs looked so nice!

My initial take before seeing the grades of others was a 4.5

 

Great looking 4.5 though, it's the tears that hurt this one.

4.0/4.5 is right - the spine looks ready to split from the top staple up due to nibbles. An example of a pretty book with problems. I can't see cracking a slabbed 4.0 to sell as a raw 4.5 unless you wanted to read it first. It's not like there's the opportunity for a big price bump. I think most buyers of low-mid grade books are more influenced by eye-appeal and/or specific defects than they are with specific grade when deciding what a fair price is.

4.0/4.5 lots happening with that book. Multiple tears and small pieces missing not to mention walrus chew on left back cover. Oops mentioned it. Gotta get that Powerline advertised on the back cover, coool.
