mel3k Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thoughts on grade? Any help would be appreciated! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Dositheus Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 What happened along the spine on the back, do you know? Was all damage pressed to the back? Also maybe some cleaning started on the back? The half clean yellow square that extends downward, the area around some of the blue titles. I'm not sure how they would react to this on the cleaning/resto spectrum. Regardless of all of the above, you've got the moisture damage to take into account, so just to assign a grade I'll say 5.0. mel3k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 This copy may (may!) have a significant spine roll (there are indications the book does not lie flat). A "side view" of the spine and/or top edge would be helpful. mel3k and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I don't know but those are some great points to consider. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
