9.2 WHITE

PRE$$ IT!

Despite its amazingness, pressing cannot make mushy corners unmushy. I don't see how that book is a pressing candidate with the two top corners being what they are. Beautiful copy, though.

[DrWatson]

In all seriousness, if it's a 9.4 or better, then I would probably leave it alone. If it isn't then I would have it looked at by a professional.

[toro]

Press it into a 9.8!

Guess the grade

 

I cannot see any major spine tic's. I only see I corner issue which may or may not be production related.

 

I am going with my first guess of 9.2.

In all seriousness, if it's a 9.4 or better, then I would probably leave it alone. If it isn't then I would have it looked at by a professional.

 

That's a very disturbing avatar.

Happy Halloween. He's carving a pumpkin that just happens to be anti-pressing.

Before encapsulation

the duck sez--

[Dick Pontoon]

Where's the bend? By the lower staple? By the "20 cents"? URC? Or are you just looking to square it up?

[nik]

The bend is on the right side, starts at the top and goes down about three inches. Impossible to see from the scan.

[Dick Pontoon]

Is this it or am I seeing things? (Not uncommon when I look at Nik scans. )

 

[DrWatson]

Oh fer crissakes! What did it grade already?
