Color breaking ticks, staining throughout interior pages and covers on bottom, color breaking crease, color rub on back cover, and blunting. Inside not good due to staining throughout book. Nothing missing. Let me know. Thx everyone!

Blunted corners with a small fold at top right and color breaking creasing at the top left, minor spine wear w/numerous color breaking spine ticks on front and rear covers, slight spine roll, corner/edge wear on rear cover with some color loss and color breaking creases.

IMO, too many color breaking spine ticks to reach a higher grade...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. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. 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. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose.

5.0/5.5

Stains get hammered. I had a beautiful book with barely visible stain the size of a pea get busted all the way down to a 6.0 because of it. With the other issues this book has and the extent of the staining a 6.0 feels like a best case scenario to me. 

Edit: knock a grade or two off if the centerfold is detached
