Book Photos

📸 Photo Guidelines: Photograph your book in good natural lighting on a flat white surface. Lay the book flat — do not hold it up. Good photos lead to more accurate evaluations and faster turnaround. The first 3 photos are required. Add close-ups of any specific defects you want highlighted.
