My first post on here. Thanks for all inputs!

Welcome to the Boards. Try using a black piece of paper behind your book when you scan,so we can see the details to the edges of the book.

Looks like a 9.6 WP to me

Amazingly sharp corners on the top, unlike the bottom (especially left corner). I'm not good at spotting these things, but that always worries me. If it's clean it's a 9.2 (wouldn't call it anything higher without seeing much more close up (there is something there next to the X), also now that I took another look there are 2 dark spots on the back spine a bit above the bottom staple. Are those holes or color?

I'll let the experts here give their opinions and hopefully I'm wrong.

 

edit: do you see those black spots on the spine on the inner cover?

[oakman29]

It's got sharp corners because the scan is cutting the edge of the book.

That calls for a new scan, but what about those spots? Hopefully I'm wrong about that too, but it is odd.

Noobs!

The back cover outside edge looks severly trimmed. Oh wait, I can't see the outside edge.

OK guys I'll submit a new scan shortly after an errand I've got to make using black border. Thanks for your help. Should I make a new thread for it?

[oakman29]

Please no!

[Mjolnir!]

Here is the rescan. Again guys thank you for your input!

There is color touch right under Storms face upper left corner.

I still see those 2 spots on the back spine above the bottom staple, but at higher res they could be small dents.

[Dr. Balls]

You might check the levels (or brightness/contrast or whitepoint) that your scanner is scanning at. The type on the back is really blown out, which is indicative of some adjustments being made to alter the appearance of the whiteness. That way, you'll have a more accurate scan, and detail any possible dents, dings, creasing, etc.

 

Other than that, really super looking book!

I believe that's just the "TM" under Storm's mug.
