Strange Tales 167

Hello there

 

I'll call this an Ebay special that I got a couple years ago..

 

I need help with this books grade and more in terms if it was restored or not?

 

The right side cut looks pretty rough. I've never had a trimmed book So I don't know if this was trimmed or just a bad production cut.

 

Also the bottom of the book has a slight curl as seen in the pics.

Sorry for the garbage pics. Didn't realize they came out that dark.

About the ragged edge, I'd guess a dull blade during production, but I can't say that with any authority.

6.0 IMHO!

Bad production, apparently. My copy has the same thing.

 

Here's my PGM thread on this issue, where other people also posted their rusty hatchet edges:

Apparently common for this issue.

6.5 seems accurate. Looks like it could press out a little higher.
