Assessing spark plug condition

Assessing spark plug condition
Since I was nearby working on distributor, I pulled a few plugs to check them out
Here is the one from 3B. Looks pretty normal to me.
Here is the one from 3A:
The plug from 3A had very white and dry tip when I pulled. (Photo is after handling it a bit and it does not make it justice.)
Haynes book says that white tip with dry sooty deposits might indicate a rich mixture or weak ignition.
Should I be concerned? Is there a way to test further?

Does anybody remember what torque should be applied on the plugs?
