I’m hoping for a 6.0 on this one. I could see arguments for a 5.0/5.5 though. Obvious CNP cuz that back cover is a bit dirty.

Not to be a party pooper but the Rules & Etiquette section for this sub forum do say that posters are preferred not to suppose their own grades for the books they post as graders would like to approach books with a clean palette. I understand why people do but maybe have it as hidden content, so that once folk have offered a grade they can view your own estimate. Just a thought.

Lots of handling wear and soiling, worn/rounded corners, creasing. Not bright or fresh enough for Fine. As is no better than 4.0 but may cnp to 4.5 and 5.0 might be a stretch.

Not a bad 'fault' to have. I'm just as harsh on my own books as I am on others. That's why this section is fun, seeing what the consensus is. (How far off I am!) Valuable exercise and builds relationships between boardies too.

5.5. I was 6.0-6.5 until I scrolled to the back corner.

4.0/4.5. There are a lot of longish creases that break color. They're not the most prominent, but I see them. The soiling is going to be an issue if it doesn't come off.

5.5

I've graded thousands of books on this forum but only about 200 of my own. I sometimes find it hard to look at them subjectively. And now I believe I'm too rough on them.

Thanks for posting.
