Slightly blunted/rounded corners, color breaking crease at lower right corner, scratches/color loss at top edge (by the 2nd e in Beetle, by the last E in the title), long/vertical/color breaking scratch by lower/outer edge, minor spine stress w/ a couple of color breaking spine ticks, minor staple tears at top staple, lower staple off center, minor - moderate staining, dust/sun shadow on outer edge, slight discoloration of cover, "H" written in marker, very slight spine roll, moderate dust/sun shadow on rear cover along all edges.

Since grading on Golden Age Books is more lenient...FN+ 6.5

 

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

6.5 FINE+ (FN+):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

6.0 FINE (FN):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects.

Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration.

I'll say a photo 7.0, but I'd want to inspect some of the defects with the book in hand before making a final assessment. There are enough defects where the exact nature might tip a grade one way or another
