This one looks really nice, and I can't see why it's not a 9.8.  I'm sure it's something obvious, and I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person, but I think I might send it back for a review submission.  The other ones I could find something that might have made it miss, but I'm personally dumbfounded on this one.  I do wish they'd add notes even if it's "obvious".  I can't think of any other industry where you pay someone to grade/rate/judge something and they don't give you back some reason with the grade.

I may be wrong but that upper right corner looks rounded, not sharp.

Yeah, the photo does make it look that way, but the book is crisp and it's a shadow and an offset inside page.  The book was pressed before grading, and the pages are just showing about 1mm on the side.  Does that affect grading?  I have other similar 9.8's that have the same effect. :p

@greggy I was waiting for this one! I could have sworn it was a 9.6 or a 9.8 from the raw scan. Was this your only one or did you have more copies? Congrats on the DD 131!

Only one.  Pretty well only book I was disappointed in with respect to the grade.
