There is a slight bend in the cover along the whole side that could possibly be pressed out. See last picture to see what I mean, I had to take it in the correct light to see it. It's not very noticeable in person unless you look at it at the correct angle. I thought there was a white mark above the N in the title, but after looking at pictures of the same book it's actually part of the cover. Comes with bag and board and I can combine shipping.
