PGM Dell's The Creature 1 1

[thewritestuff]

Hey, everyone. Just wondering what people think of this one and where it might grade out. Thanks!

Is that a piece missing along the top, back edge? It looks like it is, and it continues through several pages. Need some info there to make a good assessment. This book is very much on my radar. Creature from the Black Lagoon was the first creature feature I ever remember watching as a kid. Probably explains a lot of my interest in Man-Thing, Swamp Thing, Manphibian, et al. Pending the divot, I'd say 6.0±0.5

Thanks for the reply. There isn’t a piece missing, but a ding on the top edge that pushed the edge down and caused it to bunch up (see photo below). There’s a chance this could  be pressed back into place, I suppose . I have a piece of white micro chamber paper inserted behind the cover, so that might give the appearance of a piece missing from that edge as well as the pages.

Ok. Think my guess is valid then. Hope for a 6.5, expect a grade lower.

I’d say a 7.5. Nice book.

story by my hometown NBC affiliate & I'll wager the station that played the creature feature movies including CFTBL back in the day (I mean, I have a 1/3 chance I've guessed correctly)
