Hi Mark,

 

It's too hard to see fine detail in those scans with that light blue cover. Can you post bigger scans?

[Kramerica]

Hey Scott. How're you doin? OK, I doubled it and went 400dpi instead of 200. It should be good enough now. I'm really wavering between two grades so I just decided to defer to you guys. Let's see what you think. Thanks! Mark

First post!! Nice book. Does that back cover left edge look funny to anyone else or is it just me? The bottom extends out much further than the top section and it looks a little wavy.

Much better this way!

 

I think it looks like a 6.0, maybe 6.5 depending on how glossy the book is and how many or few non-color-breaking surface impressions/thumb dings it has.

Welcome to the boards! Yes, it does extend out a bit, but there is no wave. Now grade it dammit! This is your initiation. Run the gauntlet!

6.0 +/- a half grade.

K,

 

I don't mean to dis your books, but with the staple indents, and the level of fraying and spine creasing, I think this copy will grade a 4.5

 

I don't know where these other guys are coming from . . . I certainly wouldn't consider slabbing it.
