About a 9.0 to 9.2, mainly due to that weird indentation on the right edge of the front cover, the spine stress at the top staple, and blunted spine corners. Closer to 9.2.

8.5. I believe the white spine is hiding spine stress. (I think I can see it).

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. . . .

No stress, but looking closely at the scan = the ULFC appears a little fuzzy, the FC is cut slightly on the bias, and there's a very little something going on at the top staple (although I don't really know how to describe it), along with VVL soiling on the BC, I think it's a 9.2, maybe on the edge of 9.4.

I might add, that PQ does not get any whiter than these books, until they shifted to Baxter paper. smile.gif

send it in.

 

Nah, I listed it at the (pretty much) consensus 9.2. It's kinda like the gymnastics judges - you have to automatically throw out the high and the low grades, and then take the average.
