There is a slight roll on the left hand side from top to bottom on the front cover, but that should be able to be pressed out.

also some non-color breaking creases on the back cover near the spine.

inside, it is Al complete, staples firmly attached and no rust.

let me know your thoughts, before and after a press.

 Thank you for looking.

Blunted corners with a small tear/piece missing at the lower right corner, wavy top edge with foxing, minor spine stress with small staple tears and a few small color breaking spine ticks, rear cover top edge has minor foxing, discoloration along the spine of the rear cover.

IMO...FN 6.0 to 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.

around 7.0

I'd say 6.0 as-is, and 7.0 or maybe 7.5 after pressing depending on how that bottom right corner turns out.  Foxing along edges likely prevents a higher grade.  Very nice overall!
