Yes, the whiteness of the cover is remarkable, considered prior to issues in the 60s (for the numbering) the cover paper tended to yellow a lot.

It’s more likely to find brown covers rather than white ones… :D

 

I am SO glad for you, this is definitely THE club I need to join, sooner or later.

And a white cover will be the thing I will be after, considered I will be able to join very low grade… :)

Here it is, my 2.0 Off White. I haven't been this pumped for a book in a long time. I would love to crack it out and read this bad boy, but I'll let it sit pretty as is.

Does anyone have any leads on a complete, unrestored, coverless copy?

 

Just curious, but if you're willing to go coverless, what's it matter if theres a little restoration like color touch or something in the book? If you're willing to take a beater I don't see why some resto even matters.

 

I mean absolutely NO disrespect at all by this question either so please don't take it as me giving you a hard time or anything like that.

No problem, no misunderstanding, no need to worry, besides my skin ain't that thin. But thanks for being considerate.

 

Now that you bring it up, I guess it really doesn't matter to me if a coverless book has a little repair or CT. Good point. I'm just so accustomed to saying, "no resto" on all the other books I buy and/or sell.

haha okay cool.

 

Yeah, was just curious. I think if you go coverless than some repair here or there ain't a big deal at all. May actually get em even cheaper!

 

I saw your thread where you are downgrading. That's cool. Any particular reason why?

For the same reason you just pointed out: It's cheaper. I enjoy reading from the original books, but I decided I didn't need expensive collectors' items (or covers) to do that. I just found a coverless FF 5, and sold my long-time 3.0 copy. A tidy profit, and I still get to read the book.
