looks like you had a good 2nd round!

Let my second guessing, get the best of me 1st round. 

This time I listened more to my initial assessment.  

Would probably do a lot better if I actually sat down took the time to make notes of each defect and calculate.  :roflmao:

I know I can do better. I  just tend to either  rush things , or be lazy. (shrug)

I once started a thread about "how do you grade?". It was about this very thing...I never had a guide in my life and know someone who grades by tallying defects. I look at a bok, stand back and go"hmmmm, looks like a 5.5" and then try to convince myself otherwise. I couldn't tell you what length of spine split means what...I just ballpark it all out in my head.

Contest results so far. If you do not see your name on this list, it's because you scored a negative number. This is just the beginning though, 6 more books to come, and all as hard.
