Is this a gift grade?

Structurally it's a gorgeous book. I'd like to strangle the guy who CT'd it.

 

I wouldn't touch this copy with a 10 foot pole. Color touch is unfortunate, but this copy has been defaced, so I'm more annoyed with you.

Possibly a kid improving his book decades ago?

When I got it the CT had already been scraped a little and it was in a Purple holder (I think a purple 5.0). I guess I could have had CT reapplied, but I decided to try to have the rest removed. It ended up having more removed than I thought.

I've always thought a FaceTime, video conference, Skype option to go over a pre-screen would be awesome. That way you could get a true feel for the depth and extent of the work in order to make the best decisions. I'm not saying this would apply to every press job but in cases like this where you are confronted with the option of professional resto or resto removal I truly believe it would add much value. I wouldn't mind if they charged a few extra bucks either.
