PGM - ASM #101 2 2

[shootin-str81]

Please take a look and provide your estimate grade for this well worn ASM 101.  I struggle to grade books at this level.  The book is complete and the cover is attached.  Staples look clean.

If you are struggling with the grade, I'll submit how I look at a mid grade book

1) I look at all four corners. If they are at all ragged, it's dropping into the 5.0 range

2) I look at the spine for checks and tears at the staples.  This one is actually furry. It's dipping in the 3.5  range

3) Color breaks.  It's got them. depends on severity and frequency. This lots and lots down in the 3.5- 4.0

4)  Back cover  for stains water damage, tears, other checks,   overall rear 5.0

There's lots of other things than can go wrong, or right but these are the basics

 

Overall, I'm at a 4.0

My opinion of course, just trying to be helpful.
