Spine roll/off center cover wrap, slightly blunted corners, slight color loss along outer edge, 1-2 spine stress lines that do not break color, small stain by outer edge of rear cover, slightly crunched lower right corner on rear cover.

Due to the spine roll, IMO...

8.0 VERY FINE (VF):  Back to Top
An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

FN/VF 7.0 - The slightest spine roll may be present

FN 6.0 - A minor spine roll is allowed.

VG/FN 5.0 - A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed.

VG 4.0 - Moderate spine roll may be present

This is actually consistent with what they do with stains. I've got a similar book that is a 6.0 saying it has moisture damage (stain). I don't see it, but I assume with the right viewing equipment you could see it. They're nut-punches when some invisible defect gets crushed.

Yeah. I should have taken the blacklight to it. Won’t happen again if I can help it.
