I have a copy of John Bradshaw's Bradshaw on: The Family, that I'd like to post, but it has an issue I'm unsure about.  It is fine for it's age and for being a paperback, but when the carton was opened (I assume, it's been this way since we've had it), the blade of the opener was run across the cover; the slice goes all the way across.  It's not all the way through, which is why I have the issue.  For a book like this, I wouldn't have a problem receiving it, it's for informational reading, not display, and the book isn't going to come apart because of it. 

But is this an unpostable condition?  This is something I would let a potential taker know about before I mailed it, to give them the chance of declining, but I am interested in what people think.

Thanks!

*I'd* consider it postable, but I'll be interested to see how the discussion unfolds.

I'd say it's postable since the cut doesn't go all the way through.  If it went thought, it would have to be less than an inch long.  IMO.

sounds like a scratch. I think it's postable.

I'd say it's postable too, but if it were me I'd mention it to the requestor so they can decide if they still want it or not. I always do that with books that fall into that grey area just to be sure.
