We have scuffing near spine f/c, blunting, color breaking ticks and creases, soiling on b/c, and foxing on b/c. Inside is fine. No issues! Thx everyone again for all your feedback!

Blunted corners with small color breaking creases/color loss, color loss along outer edge, minor to moderate spine stress with multiple color breaking stress lines and staple tears, slight spine roll, slight discoloration of rear cover, slight dent/crease at lower edge of rear cover.

IMO...FN 6.0

 

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top

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.

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.

In an out-of-character move for me, I'm leaning high: 7.5
I see so much to like about this copy. I looked up the sales on GoCollect and am comparing images of the 7.5s and don't think it's out of the question.But very curious to see what others think.
