A recent find. I’m keeping it because I’ve never read and I figure I should. 
 

Wondering what people think in terms of the bend near the bottom staple and whether it would press out. Thanks!

Crease doesn’t appear to be color breaking, so if it can be pressed out that would certainly improve the grade. Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about pressing to help you out.  8.0 as is...

A CP will help that large wrinkle.  More BC pics of that area would be helpful.

8.5

It sure would! Apologies it didn’t attach the first time. That wrinkle isn’t on the back at all

I was mainly looking at the small wrinkles on the spine near that same area...or is that lighting...

A couple better angles of that area front and back

That’s odd looking wrinkling.  I hesitate to say that’s a production issue.  Almost looks like it’s from moisture damage.  Light rust, not oxidation, on that bottom staple helps my case a bit.  7.0, 7.5 with CP...IMO.

Good spot but I think it’s production. It is present on first page. I’d like to get an 8.0 after press so we shall see as I am intrigued to see what a press could do

I think after a p&C that the book will grade 8.5/9.0

8.0 as-is.

[Deadpoolica]

8.0 as is
