I am not a comics grader, but I try to be as thorough as possible when assessing books for any flaws. I don't believe in using a number grade system - to me they are mostly utilized as a method to be ambiguous about exact condition and/or individual imperfections - but I do attempt to describe anything other than minor cover shelf-scuffing/scratching in detail. If a certain flaw discussed below does not mention that it affects inside pages, then it does not. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This copy is in good condition, with a solid spine, a great hardcover (photos#17,18) and excellent overall inside pages (photos#20-24 examples). It does have some signs of wear, including 1 outer corner ding/indent, some small spine corner dings, and a few jacket creases, although most of the wear is lighter in severity, and primarily external in nature. **Photo#3:-Spine edge: Four light ~1/2" indents/scratches around its middle. **Photo#4:-Page edge: Some light natural staining over time from being on a shelf on the external page edges. Some light shelf-scuffing on the back cover's page edge around its middle. **Photo#5: -Upper spine corner: Small dings//~1/2" indents at/around where it meets each cover, they show as light indents on the hardcover below (photo#10). 2 small dings at its middle, causes light adjacent ~3/4" crease on the jacket edge.-Lower spine corner: Small dings//~1/2" indents at/around where it meets each cover, they show as light indents on the hardcover below (photos#10,11). **Photo#6: -Front cover top edge: Two ~2" light nearby/parallel jacket creases to edge (photo#12 w/illumination).-Outer corner: Ding//~3/4" indent around corner, shows on hardcover below as a bend/small indent, and goes thru pages as a light bend. **Photo#7:-Front cover bottom edge: Tiny indent/ding/tear near its middle (photo#13 w/illumination).

I always pack books firmly between pieces of cardboard (among other materials/layers) via Gemini Comic mailers or bubble mailers depending on size; usually utilizing boxes for larger lots. If you have any questions or would like any additional photos, feel free to let me know. I'm always happy to combine shipping costs - either message me before completing purchase for a pre-payment price adjustment, or alternatively I can provide a refund afterwards. Thanks, and have a fantastic day!
