I'm a bit disappointed in the overall quality, I really don't like that it is a spiral bound inside a hardcover. Of course, I used to carry it in my backpack to and from school, which may explain the wear and tear
Also, I don't believe sixth edition volume two is out yet.
Quote: I don't have any other editions to compare it to, but I would call the paper on the thin side.
I first bought a copy of the ANA Grading Standards, which is also published by Whitman in the spiral-bound format. For that volume, the pages were glossy and strong. So, I was disappointed with the new volume.
Quote: Was your volume 1 printed on really thin paper? I was disappointed in the paper quality.
As above, I also don't have another copy to compare it to but I'd say it lighter than a typical book. Suppose they use lighter paper to keep costs down but I'm happy with mine none the less.
