CONDITION NOTES: Near MINT. (9.4) Note well a 3/4" crease tear at the score line, tail side, between the front and back covers.  The score line weakens the paper a bit and should be examined whenever handling.  Other than that crease tear, 9.4 grade is solid.   Tiny bump creases at sheet corners. Printer's center crease fold present and the sheet seems to have been folded into a bifolium once upon a time (will ship flat). Careful inspection under a raking light will reveal some handling bends but no frank creases (except < 3/16" at some sheet corners). No soiling. Quality impression without runs, hickeys, or junk. No marks or tears.
