I guess I got 'em on a good day - came in at 7.5, white pages.

Good number of spine ticks going down the side, especially visible on the back. There is a tiny tear front cover between 1/16" and 1/8" of an inch on the right side in the middle. Tiny bit of colour fleck I think in top as well. I have a hard time grading books in this 'pretty good but nowhere near mint' category but am learning.

Your description is pretty much spot on.

I see the color fleck and some slight color rub on the outer edge of front cover, slight corner/edge wear, minor to moderate spine ticks/stress w/color breaks, slight fanning of the pages, minor loss of cover reflectivity, minor color rub on rear cover.

I do not see any major defects and IMO...

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

6.5 F+. I was leaning towards a F/VF but there's a little too much spine stress on the back cover IMO.

6.5 back cover shows the spine wear

6.0/6.5

C&P for 7.0 tops.

Thanks for posting.

The spine ticks are so tiny, they don't bother me too much  I'll say 7.0, thanks for sharing!

thanks everyone - appreciate it. I'd pegged this at a 7.0 myself (so on the optimistic side, but not out of the question based on feedback).

6.5 as is
