[Spider-Variant]

Does this appear to be a miscut? Very discernible on the back cover.

What are we looking at? Is it because the book isn't perfectly square? That is not that unusual on 60's Marvels, and on some books (DD #7, for example) it is actually much more typical to see slightly trapezoidal books than it is to see squarely cut ones.

[Spider-Variant]

Yes, exactly Mysterio, the slant cut at both the bottom and top. I didn't see any other copies with this cut, so thought I would ask some questions.

 

Thanks for your reply.

Do the inner pages come to a small peak as you go to the center of the book? With bad trim jobs that peak is usually the first thing lost.

[Spider-Variant]

I'll take a look tonight.

I wouldn't use this as an example of an obviously-trimmed book - I've owned many books this shape that I'm fairly certain are not trimmed :shrug:

I love these GRR books, wish I had all of them.

I guess I am going just the opposite, that it is a miscut, and not trimmed. Just looking for inputs from others.

 

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
