Probably not unless it doesn’t lay flat.

No press

I mean, a press pro MIGHT be able to line up them staples nicer but that could risk popping a staple. To me, the alignment the way is it is better than a nice alignment but a popped staple. The rest of the flaws are not something a press helps (unless the book is wavy or curled and doesn't lie flat). Even then, I think this book grades 2.5-3.0 with or without a press.

I would be a hard "NO!"  Very interested to see if Joe thinks he could improve appearance, grade, or both. :popcorn:

It would be very time consuming, but the spine roll would go away and the fraying/tearing/chipping along the edges would look worlds better.

You do great work removing a spine roll. 

I still have this as it is one of my favorite GA Cap books.  

Now before people say why would I have a book pressed and regraded for a .5 bump... 

Because I wanted to keep the book and wanted it to look nicer.
