grendelbo Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Besides the subscription crease and the reader's crease along the spine, it looks to have taken some water/moisture damage as evidenced along the spine of the back cover. 3.0/3.5 Thanks for sharing.

Frankielo Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 I plan on having it slabbed anyway any thoughts on is it worth pressing cleaning considering how much time it takes and what’s a half a point bump going to get me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cleaning may even raise the grade a half a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFB Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 About a 3.5 right now unless there are interior stains or other damage to bring it to a 3.0. Definitely get it cleaned, although I don't know how well the stains will come out even then. Still, a very cool book that you should be proud to own!
