Niize copy - 7.5

 

Very light edge wear and creasing; NCB fold to ULBC; impact crease to LRBC; light dust shadows at opening corners BC

8.5. Nice book! It would be 9.x if it were not for the slight back cover defects.

7.0 That big fold/bend hurts...

8.5. Nice book! It would be 9.x if it were not for the slight back cover defects.

 

I suppose I could go to an 8.0 , but that fold at the top corner appears to go through the entire book - front to back

I don't see any evidence on the front.

 

Does the bend go through the book?? (I'm asking the owner here)

 

I see how you came up with the 7.5 then.

Ok, first time i've offered a grade so be gentle:

 

7.5 F\VF

 

Nice copy; edgewear, corner crease (top right FC) and what look like tiny spinal tears around the bottom staple bringing it down.

[divad]

tiny spinal tears

 

but, very gentle ones

 

I think those are very light stress lines at the LS

[Fandango]

Ah, my bad.

[divad]

Ah, my bad.

 

 

Staple tears, at a minimum , take a book down to the FN range. IMHO

The big bend doesn't go past the BC but the small dogear at the end of the big bend go through 1/2 the book.

Thanks! I'll adjust my grade down to 7.5.

I'd go a 7.0 with a shot at a 7.5...but it's tough without seeing that crease in person...could be higher.

Interesting site. Took me a minute or two to figure out how the site worked. I graded a book of mine that I figured was a 4.5. The site graded it 3.0. The book is not a 3.0. I may just need to use the site more to understand each category better. I suggest that everyone take a look at the site.
