gadzukes Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) The front cover is very nice. The insides are immaculate, with posible "White pages". The back cover is where the problem is. A complete "tab tear" around the lower staple area. The staple is still holding the cover snug at the bottom. Also, there is an old tape stain down in that area (tape is gone) Edited June 25, 2022 by gadzukes Galen130 and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyde Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I am a novice at this, but I would say 5.0. One of my books got hammered with staining that wasn't as bad, but it was also a higher grade book, so it's tough to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
