THE DANDY ANNUAL 2003
The 2003 volume of the Dandy Annual was in a well established groove by this edition. All colour, and with Desperate Dan firmly in charge as regards space allocation.
One innovation for this year was a feature looking back at the bronze statues erected in Dundee after the millenium by the publisher that still grace the streets and are certainly worth a look on any visit.
The book is in VG condition with the following faults
Light rubbing to the cover boards.
Small dint to back cover board close to price panel.
The book is otherwise clean and bright, unclipped and not marked.
8.5 out of 10
I sell mostly second hand books and I try to convey overall condition by rating out of 10. New would be 10, whilst anything over 9 would be collectible in that the book would be lightly read, and with no damage or wear. An 8 rating would be a decent copy, appropriate for its age.
Once it gets a 7 rating, then there will be faults that you should consider carefully. 6 or lower are generally reading copies or collection fillers that are offered because of their rarity or interest. Again, check the faults carefully.
