gadzukes Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Such a cool cover! Cover attached at top staple only. Small piece missing around where the bottom staple would attach at the spine. Small piece missing lower left corner of back cover. There are a few small slivers of tape mending some small tears on the inside of cover (mostly around lower spine area). I suppose there's a chance this one could get a "conserved" label cuz of the tape, but I think it's a small enough amount that it'll still get a blue label. A press will make this look much nicer.

Point Five Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I'd think 2.5 give or take. Love the cover colors, but spine tears, general wear and missing strip on the back cover. Is there a bit of red color touch above the word stories? Along those lines, not sure but I wonder if overhang edge trim is a possibility along the top or right cover edges. I hope not, but it looks just a mite too crisp given the amount of edge wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red that you see is just a trick of the light with my photo. Definitely not any CT. As far as possible trim..... I don't think so but can't say for sure.

bc Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Great book! Think 2.5/3.0 is a reasonable grade as the interior looks in solid shape. -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
