Bindery Tear? 1 1

[Ozonetv]

I'm unclear what exactly is a bindery tear...is it possible that this could be considered one - or is it too severe?

Which of the defects in that pic are you referring to? That tear near the bottom of the J in June looks like a bindery tear, yes.

I wouldn't call that issue a bindery tear.

It's easy to imagine that a production flaw was involved in that defect. An insufficiently sharp blade may have left some extra material at the corner, which was at some subsequent point torn away, leaving it in its current state.

But what I suspect you're really asking is "Is this going to be a defect that will count against the book's grade?", and I think that the answer is quite likely to be yes.

I think you're right too...wonder what kind of deduction that would be.
