Today Magazine was the follow-up to the John Bull magazine and was aimed at a younger audience having articles on movie stars, the emerging Rock and Roll scene. Plus there are articles and serialisation of many well-known authors’ works, both fiction and non-fiction. Reading these magazines now, some 60 or so years after they were published, offers a fascination insight to contemporary thoughts and ideas. And the advertisements are great, too!

Condition: The magazine is in good vintage condition, is a little tatty showing reading wear and some creasing to the covers and internal pages. Staples have rusted. Given that the magazine is coming up to 60 years old, its condition is pretty good, but certainly not perfect! The magazine pictured below is the one you will receive.
I accept returns, and if you’d like any further information, just ask!
