I'll try and get a scan of the back copy tonight. What's your grade based on the front?

7.5. Looks like some wear at the lower staple?

Wow... I have the front as a 7.5 also... but I have a funny feeling the BC is gonna drop this bad boy a bit...

7.5 front, the back will have a major influence on whether it can keep that range.

Yeah, to the right the back cover overhangs so you can see it, but to the left it disappears.

[Twistty1]

I was thinking around 7.0 or 7.5 as well...

[TFL-migration]

7.0 IMHO Looks like the BC will bring the grade down a bit....

Looks 7.5 based on FC, nice copy

7.0/7.5

OK, finally got another scanner and want to get your opinion on the back cover. As you can see there is a long fold from about mid-book right to mid-book bottom. To the left of the fold/crease, the edges are longer. Looks like at one point it was folded over...manufacturing defect?

 

My concern is that the book was trimmed when the back cover was folded over but not sure how to tell 100%. Maybe I'll swing it by Bedrock and let Richard take a look...

 

Thoughts?
