As always, we don't list condition opinions. We are not professional graders, and honestly, we don't have much use for them as condition is highly subjective and the grading services' opinions are about as accurate as anyone else's. The high-res photos we post will let the item speak for itself. You decide the condition. If we see any major defects, we try to list them. We consider "major" defects to be rips, tears, missing pages and the like. Not spine creases, etc. Those can clearly be seen in the photos we provide, and it is for you, not us, to determine how much they affect the presentation of the item. That is why we try to provide photos of the book both in and out of the bag.
MAJOR DEFECTS: A crease to the cover visible in the images where it says "THE RUMORS ARE TRUE" that carries through the book, as well as other light creasing to the cover visible on close inspection of the photos. A small chip to the cover as shown in the photos.
All payments are due immediately at the close of the auction/buy it now sale.
