I will. I actually think the book may have been manufactured that way. The bottom and top edges are flush with the rest of the book, which would not have happened if the back cover was twisted by stacking damage or a spine roll. When the cover is realigned I expect the back top edge to be peeking over the top of the book. If pressing doesn't work I will bend that sucker back by hand!

You'll probably have to separate the siamese twins too!

Yes, this book needs several radical procedures and operations.

How about I just take the exacto knife to it right now.....you've already paid....and it is a horror book.

Here, just separate the pages, realign the spine, take the resulting top overhang off with the knife and reattach the surplus to the bottom edge. Should take but a moment.

Thing #6 Unread copy with one siamese page at the top that's still uncut...

 

I wish I'd remembered this copy during the pressing experiment....

 

Could be pressed from the VG ish condition now to a F/VF or so.

 

OSPG $102 (My price $75) A F/VF copy is worth around $225 so it's probabaly worth the money to press it.

Holy Cra.p....... Im scared to look at it again!!!

Actually this book has GREAT eye appeal imho!

[Comicdey]

Once it's pressed, you'll be surprised how great it will look...

 

I'm betting F/VF looking....the cover has no creases so the only creasing will be along the back where it was re-folded.... It probably won't even be that noticeable on the back as the spine isn't crushed/creased, so it might just press right out. ??

 

Just my 2 cents.....I think October knows exactly what he's doing.

 

I would have done it myself.......and probabaly should have.

I fully agree.

Was just Mr. October a little is all.

Can't wait to see the results!

[Timulty]

This is one of those instances that pressing would be for more than just cosmetic results. I remember Buck had a Superman that was close to this bad. It looked amazing afterwards.
