JohnT Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 It has been a really long time since I`ve posted a book here. Unbelievable copy. And yes, that is a classic cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks guys. You can never tell from the relatively small CL scans just how good a book is, but I can now confirm that it really IS a beautiful copy. The only thing that keeps it from a 9.6 in my opinion is the very faint crease down in the bottom right corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that totally killed the book for me You know me, that's the equivalent of a glaring neon sign with bright red arrows pointing to it. I genuinely debated whether to go hard after this book because of it, along with a few other defects that appeared in the scan but turned out to be manufacturing defects rather than handling defects. I know, it's a sad sickness that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's a sad sickness that I have. Glad it worked out for you. It looks attractive in the scan -- nice colors and well-centered with sharp corners. This ought to last a year or two until you find that 9.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 This 9.4 #4 ought to last a year or two until you find that 9.9. Normally I'd give a hearty to this statement, but seeing as how we went from 1 9.2 (+ 5 -8.5's) being Top Dog for this book as recently as December; then this 9.4 along with another 9.2 in just 4 short months...I think I'll stick with for now.
