With apologies, these photos did not turn out as crisp as they could be.

a lot of color breaking spine tics on a black border and crease on back.  I think it caps off at 6.0.

I might believe a 7.0 is an outside possibility if pressing take the indentions out. CGC is more forgiving of spine issues, plus the black background shows everything. It seems like the small press books also come out a grade higher than similar defects from one of the major companies.

The book is hard to read straight on... if you can so a pic with the reflection of the surface.

From what I can see:

Lots of color-break spine ticks

Wrinkle on title

Color-break crease on the back

With a good press and clean I am guessing that you might come out with a 7.0.  I wouldn't be surprised with a 6.5 and I would be very happy with a 7.5.  Hope that helps.

BTW... that is a nice book!!

6.5

Thanks for posting.

Thanks everyone for your input! I was thinking something along the lines of 6.0/6.05 as well.
