Why you passed

[Theagenes]

Foxing and Fading have both made me pass on otherwise nice books.

Staple rust... excessive tanning... colour fade... miscuts... loose or missing pieces... brittleness... staining... garish cover writing... all can and do contribute to me passing on a book, factoring in price, overall condition, and extent of the offending defect.

Damn straight. Plus Foxing and Fading have a nice alliterative sound. Much better than Brittleness and Bug Chews.

Pisss and Poo would go great together, but i know of no fecal-fouled books. to be sure, there are lots of shi tty d.c.'s, but that's metaphorical.

Love those covers.

 

The biggest No No for me is normally trimming, though I was more than happy to take Richard's Mystic #9 (trimmed bottom edge) because it is otherwise so pretty and the price was right. So I guess there are exceptions ot every rule.

With me, it seems that beans or broccoli are the culprits. Also, too much beer will do it.

Are you sure it was cat pee pee?

 

Had more then a few books sent our way for cleaning, that made me wonder just what kind of urine I was washing out.

For me, production related flaws would not make me pass on most any book. Even to the point of thinking offset registry books sort of neat.

 

Although if a book has really bad mold, I typically back up and run away.
