| @sborock what mistakes do you see? Like too much pressure, causing micro cracks along spine? I have seen that a few times. I think, that some think the more pressure the better. I've also seen opening edge lifting and not laying flat after pressing cycle. Usually from wrong temp and lack of time in cold press. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by sborock Are whole-book wavies from an otherwise decent press job considered a defect? I've read a ton of CBCS notes over the years but don't recall ever seeing mention of that common amateur pressing problem. Would it be Noted as something like "book doesn't lay flat"? |

Quote:Originally Posted by ShoddyShortBox We use, in the notes, "moisture ripples" instead of "water damage" so that you know it's probably from a bad press. If the book does not lay flat, it could be from bad pressing or improper storage. |

Not high grade, but I have always loved the background on this cover. Makes the image pop! |

| @sborock I've always found that cover to be a bit mesmerising. The red + green and purple + yellow colour combinations and that persistent question of whether it was Batman's knuckle sandwich that took the guy out first or Robin's enthusiastic head-butt-to-the-crack. Fun and fascinating at the same time. | ||
