Bayowolf Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Large creases on FC corner, spine wear. Staples tarnished, but well attached. Paper cream to off-white. Thanks. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Februus Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Wondering if that is a half inch edge tear by Herc’s mace? Benefit of the doubt 5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Is the discoloration on the BC bottom edge moisture damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayowolf Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Not water damage, may be from moist fingers but does not extend into pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninanina Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 5.0 nicer than a 4.0 but the accumulation of the crease, stain, spine and corner wear IMO keeps this from a 6.0. If I may comment on the bottom edge, it looks like it could be a minor condensation stain. Not enough to effect the inside pages but just enough to discolor the bottom edge. This could have perhaps been caused by the book being stored for a time against a basement outside wall. It's the ripples on the far right side of the stain closest to the spine that suggests this could be it as the waves do look like something moisture would generate. Just a guess, but something that might be considered? grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
