Slightly blunted corners with a long, slightly color breaking crease at the top left and a small color breaking crease/impact crunch at the lower right. minor spine stress with a few color breaking spine ticks, outside edges of staples appear to be slightly discolored, impact crunch at lower right corner of rear cover, multiple creases at the top right of the rear cover.

AS the book sits right now, IMO...FN/VF 7.0

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.

I struggle to grade based on a series of disjointed, partial photos. Sorry. I miss the days when people used scanners and not phones.

I agree these photos are not great. A phone with a high quality camera can provide good images or even scans, but you have to take care to use proper lighting, resolution settings, etc. I'll give this an uncertain 7.0 b/c there could easily be defects obscured by blurriness

Those dings when viewed from the back are pretty bad, so I'd go 5.5 to 6.0 as is. You may see 6.5 or 7.0 after a press. It definitely has potential but those corner crunches are bad.
