Fear 23: Any discolorations (raibow patterns) on the front cover are reflections due to the scan. The scratch at the Bottom FC is a scratch on the case not the book. The discoloration at the LLBC is a scan reflection- the corner is sharp and white.

 

IM 20: There is a wrinkle at the LRBC corner not a tear.

Edit: The squiggle over the 'B' on 'INVINCIBLE' must have been a piece of

lint. It is not on the book. doh!

 

If you have submitted your grades already, you may resubmit on those two books. Deadline for that is Noon PST on Monday. :sumo:
