That's just a huge, ugly water stain that goes front-to-back, huh? Plus what I suspect is mouse chew. Rusty staple with migration. Binding separation at the bottom third of the book. The rest of the faults aren't really relevant in this grade band, so the big question is just how bad that water damage is going to be scored.

I'm going to go with the current majority vote and say 1.5 here. But that's mostly because this book just doesn't feel as totally wrecked to me as most 1.0 books tend to. However, if this came back 1.0, I wouldn't feel like you'd gotten an unfair grade.

Well said!  Agree that it’s mangled but not destroyed.  1.5 seems a good place to land...
