DR.X Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) This is a really nice, tight book, except for that dreaded tide mark on the lower corner. UGH. No rippling or waving on the paper though. Book is very tight, and has great color and eye appeal. Inside paper is very nice, and C.F. is well attached. A bit of color loss on the top spine corner. Edges are pretty clean.

tmac100 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I'm basing this on the legendary ETA Nick's Cheat Sheet, but a stain the size of a quarter (which this appears to be) will take you down to an 8.0 max (with everything else being perfect). Then add in the impact of other defects to lower it further. The rest of the book looks pretty good (8.0+) so I'm going to go with 7.0, with a best case of 7.5 or worst case 6.5.
