I'm having a hard time deciding if a recent swap I recieved has water damage. The spine sort of bends to one side and the rest of the book follows suit. The edge of the pages are not wavy like I would expect with water damage, but there is a small area on the top of the last few pages that seems a little pressed in (though not ripped). Any ideas? I'd hate to mark if RWAP if the book is just warped from use. |

I personally think that water damage is when the texture changes. Rather than a book that was held wrong. I keep an old dictionary to punish books that misbehave. (My sweetie does nasty things to book spines, Not a total OC book freak like me.) |

Well, the reason I started thinking water damage is because it does feel....wrong when I flip through it. But that's hard to describe in words, and if I showed you a picture of the book it would probably look fine. I think I'll just mark it recieied ok and just not repost it. |

It does not sound like water damage to me. |

High humidity will change a book, yet not be water damage. Same with hot hands rolling the cover. |

Yah, it sounds like the book just got really really bent, and maybe was in a humid climate. Real damage from liquids is usually pretty obvious. |
