9.2 maybe 9.4. Depending on the severity of that mid spine stress that telegraphs to the back. Hard to tell from the scan. Scans tend to magnify those spine stresses.

btw guys, I hope you're not interpreting the "staple crimps" as spine stress . . .

I tend to think that "staple crimps" = stress around staples > normal spine stress

For the sake of argument, you're missing my point. I'm talking about this book only. Look closely again . . . Note the two distinct dark marks on the spine: 1) at the base of The Thing's hand, and 2) at the alien's head. These are production defects, not spine stress. The only real stress (and it's freakin' tiny) is at the middle of the Thing's hand. The other two nanometer lines you see are color breaks in the art.
