First Bronze Age Book to crack $100K

Do 9.9s and 10.0s really count? They seem... artificial or commercial.

Manipulated.

Explain, please.

 

You take a book, say a 9.4, and weave some modern day magic to change it in to a 9.9 or 10.

 

I've heard it's possible but it might just be a vicious rumour started by rabid intellectuals.

It's been my experience that pressing doesn't really produce a 9.9 or 10.0. All the 9.9s I received where for books that had not been pressed

 

Furthermore, I wasn't alluding to them being pressed, but to the idea that 9.9 and 10.0 were really artificially assigned grades as it is almost impossible to distinguish a 9.9 from a very nice 9.8.

 

Eh - I never mentioned pressing (shrug)

Corn rows.

 

Is that your fave porn star?

Nope. I don't have a favorite. They all look the same from certain angles.

 

The beard will do that for you.
