IMO it's a 9.0 at a glance. The corners have rounding and it looks a little dirty. That's given it being really flat and smooth with nice paper inside. In person if it really is cleaner than it looks, and the edges are really sharp, I could see that easily reaching a NM.

 

But that is rare, which is what it's all about, finding that really nice copy. Mine I haven't looked at in a while, but I'd bet mine doesn't have as nice of a spine as that appears to. You have to look at them really closely and that takes a bunch of time. That's my next project.

 

How do you describe it, in handling it and seeing the details? Regards,

I'd go with 8.0 ( or maybe 8.5) due to the accumulation of small spine stress lines and the two small spots of stain on the back cover near the left edge.

8.0, but hard to tell with the low res scan.

Hard to tell from this scan, but with what can be seen...8.0
