Point Five's 3rd Annual Grading Contest: ROUND 3 BOOKS! 5 5

[Point Five]

On to Round 3!

-- The books have not been pressed, cleaned or altered in any way since these raw scans were taken.

-- Throughout this contest, I'm posting the full grading notes with each book. **In my opinion, this has the potential to be slightly misleading...** in some cases, the notes use harsher language than I would use to describe a book's flaw, and on the other hand there are plenty of flaws not mentioned at all. It's kind of random! So I would tend to weigh your eyes  and grading prowess more heavily than the notes, except when they describe flaws not visible (which is why I think they're still helpful on balance).

-- For this round, you can copy/paste the following in our contest PM thread:

ROUND 3

Out of the Shadows #9:

Police Against Crime #2:

-- Clicking on the scans should enlarge them. 

-- Do not discuss the books or grades in these threads.

-- When you submit grades, I'll reply but it may take me some time, especially as we slide into the work week. Don't panic.

-- Do not use the census for this contest.

-- Grades are due Wednesday, August 31st 10 pm EST.

Good luck!

[grader notes]
spine stress lines breaks color
light cover tanning
very small chip out left top of front cover
very small tear with crease right top of back cover

[my note]
On the back cover, the scan lighting makes it look like the upper left corner might be torn or chipped away, but that's not the case. The cover stock is all there.

Grades in! One huge plus for me with this contest compared to the one ran by our corporate overlords is in this one I am guaranteed a Top 35 finish!

All I wanted was to not embarrass myself. Yay for being dead last!! I swear I had 5.5 and 4 in the last round then read the graders notes over and over until I talked myself into stupidly low guesses.
