Scavengers who operate on Tatooine. NICE HIGHER GRADE BOOK - SEE ALL IMAGES. A 1/4 tear on interior edge of page, otherwise if cleaned and pressed would be a very high grade. Great book to clean and press for CGC submission.

Some things I see are (you need to view all pics to determine all issues). Biggest issue is the 1/4 right edge tear in a border area not in printed area on the interior of the book - see all pics. A few pine ticks, none appear to be color breaking - see all pics. Top left cover edge - small bit of wear.

Color finger dent/creasing along top edge of book and right edge but should be made perfect with a press - see all pics. Back could be perfect with a cleaning as the white back covers tend to need.

See all images to decide condition. Ask for more if needed. A good clean/press would bump this up in grade. Check out my other CGC and Raw books as well as original comic book art up by clicking here.
