The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE), and NO writing!!!!  The only VERY minor things to mention are a few TINY and virtually INVISIBLE marks on one corner (believe me these are virtually UNNOTICEABLE), and the cover is also slightly uneven - but again this is VERY unnoticeable indeed!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!
