Nice book David - the 2 creases are actually production, however the accumulation of dirt around them has accentuated their appearance. I did not post the copy because I though it was HG, I posted it because I thought it displayed some interesting characteristics - nice gloss, refelectivity, inks and pages, good structure, but a massive accumulation of surface wear around the edges and dirt / soiling, but no staining.

 

Often find it more interesting to talk about Mid - Lower grade stuff because there are more defects to asess.

4.5

For the purpose of discussion, why do you think those crinkly-shaped creases are production-related?

 

No disrespect intended, but it looks like the book was bent to me . . .

 

Production creases in my mind are caused when there is an excess of paper, a wrinkle / fold over itself. They are almost always linear, and not zig-zag. Please enlighten me.

just like I said, it's a POS

3.5, 4.0 at the best.

i'd have to concur with divadTheBoobGrabbingAvatarrabnud here. the book looks like it took a nice bend about its horizontal center axis. i've got books with similar ragged lines and that's almost always the case.

 

 

i've also, and i acknowledge this might be a lack of exposure on my part, not seen any PCs leading from the bound edge. typically, aren't they on the leading edge, top or bottom?

 

oh, and i have two copies of this book, which is a first for me on this forum. yay for me. normally, people are posting gem mint SA books which is not me at all.

 

and, i'd say this book was a 5.0, btw

Sal,

 

PC's can be found on the spine edge as well, although they are not as common. They are generally found on the three other edges -- machine paper handling problems translate more often to loose page areas vs. bound page areas.

Hey now! At least we're in the tourney! You can't say that about our maroon and gold rivals who finished LAST in the Pac10.

I absolutely agree with that assessment - it was just an interesting book for me to grade when I first looked at it, solid structre and awesome PQ, but with an large accumulation of various types of surface wear.

Jbud tied me down and made me take a look at this book over the weekend

 

Consider this a full retarction of my hastily assigned 4.0 grade, and a full-fledged vote for a 5.0 possibly a 5.5

Now I just gotta get Supa to stop hating.

4.0

 

 

Actually the grade has descended as I handed it out as a crying towel to the fans of a certain Mid-West BBall team Actually I was cheering for them too.

[Red Hook]

I still think it's a 4.0. Crying on it would only remove some of the dirt.

[jbud73]

Its like swatting flies with this book.
