Yes, it's 46 years soft . . .

Gorgeous "duckie" (that one's for you, Tim)!

David, are my eyes playing tricks or is there a light vertical reading crease about 1/4" to the right of the spine? It looks like there's just a tiny bit of wear/wrinkling there, barely breaking any color but maybe visible in the gloss.

[divad]

There are a few very light surface imperfections scattered about the FC, including the one at Donald's buttt. There are also a few very light spine stresses, but nothing major overall and nothing approaching a crease

[Point Five]

Cool, that's about what I thought. Slightly OT, I have a BA Unexpected 52-pager in identical condition...no color-breaking wear at all, but subtle wear in the gloss in a similar pattern. If I scanned & put it up, everyone would call it 9.0/9.2, but in hand you can see the minute wear in the gloss near the spine that would unfortunately drop it a grade or two. I'll say a very strict 8.5 on the Four Color. Beautiful book!
