Grade Range: 7.0 (FN/VF) to 7.5 (VF-)


Cover: Issue has a color break subscription crease down the middle of front cover, and the front bottom edge has a color break scuff.  There is also a front cover, bottom color break corner bend and a tiny chip off the front top corner. It still has some glossiness! It could use a clean and press to smooth some of the issues and brighten the back but will not take care of the color break issues.



Spine: Issue has 15+ spine ticks, with a lot being color break. The bottom of spine also has a small chip and a small microtear near the top of the spine.


Staples: Both intact, tight
