Pukie Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Thank you for your help grading this book with a "corner chip". Is that the proper description for this defect? Since the book has spine bends & other defects, maybe the chip is not a significant factor in the grade (or is it?). Also I am wondering, if the book were higher grade 9.6/9.4/9.2, what would be the deduction for the "chip"? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 From what I can see, it looks like there's some moderate oxidation/foxing of the interior pages. That would seem to make the chip less relevant. Given this is a bronze age book, I would expect a deduction to something in the 8s. With the chip & some spine stress, I can see this at 7.5/8.0.

grendelbo Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 7.0, maybe a grade higher.

If you're referring to the bottom left corner of the back cover I'd knock an other nearly perfect book into the VF/NM range. Thanks for posting.
