I'm hoping someone can help me answer a few questions. I'm wanting to purchase a 1st edition The Shining, but some of the more reasonable listings I've seen online (reasonable still being 350+ ) have little specks on the bottom text blocks. Initially, I thought it was molding, but one of the sellers is saying it is "'remainder spray' used by the publisher to indicate unsold copies."
Could someone please provide more information or confirm this? If it is "remainder spray," is it still worth purchasing? How much does this hurt the overall value of the book? Could I possibly ask any more questions? Halp!
