gadzukes Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Really nice sharp copy of the book. The colors are deep, the gloss is really shiny, The whites are really white. I count 1 spine tic on the front. The vertical line you see on near the middle of the right edge is not a crease it's part of the printing Edited July 2, 2022 by gadzukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Top edge/corner wear with color rub, wrap is not centered, slightly fanned pages at the top, staples are not centered, minor/moderate staple tears, staples are discolored, one spine tick with color break. IMO... 8.5 VERY FINE+ (VF+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 8.0 VERY FINE (VF): Back to Top An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the printing. It's on both of my copies but since the color strike is deeper on this one you see it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Concerning that 'crease' on the right...near the bottom of it, is that an ink rub or paper loss? Or part of the defect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Some waviness, staple tears but overall a sharp copy and the vibrant colours add lots to the eye appeal. I'm at 7.5 to 8.0 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
