NB Tears on bottom edge are production-related, coming from the blades. (thumbs u

 

Oh, and there's no smear between the G and the I in 'Giant'. That's on the ing scanner glass!

Great looking book. Scans are less revealing than we would all like to believe. BUT based on what I can see I would say you have a 9+ there !! SLAB that bad boy

9.2, beautiful copy!

[Flaming_Telepath]

Both corners on the open edge are well-rounded.

I am editing my grade to 8.5 also. Too tired and too many beers when I looked at it the first time.

I'd call it an 8.0-

 

Looks like the cover has a bit of soiling, the bottom edge of the front cover looks like its lost some surface paper, several spine bends and all of the corners look like they have their issues. Looks like a light crease coing from Beast's hand up to '68'.

 

Is that a small tear on the back cover by 'bicycles'?

Ah, ok, I wondered if they were just slightly wrapped down.

 

I revise to 8.0 then.

Good eye. (thumbs u

 

Crease from Beast's hand is printers' crease. No loss of paper on bottom edge (apart from the blade tears) and yes that is a tiny tear on the back cover.

If that's a printers crease, I'd probably go with an 8.5 then...nice book

Thanks to everybody for their opinions. Like a lot of you, I've got it at an 8.0, too. (thumbs u
