It all depends on how much glue is present and whether or not it improves the grade.

 

If it improves the grade, it's labeled as restoration. If it doesn't improve the grade, it isn't.

 

That's the rule for GA books as I understand. It doesn't apply to any other eras.

 

I'm having a difficult time believing this is a true statement. This would mean a mid grade book can have work done to it and be a blue label if another flaw holds the grade down. I still think it is the intent/function of the glue, not a matter of the grade.

 

I think that is what Roy meant.

What is the glue doing?

Is the glue holding a piece of the spine in place (improves the grade/look of the book)? Restored.
