The ‘Free’ Gifts that are sometimes given away with the magazine (i.e. cloth patches, key-rings, sticker sheets, nude girl pin-ups, lingerie model calendars, supplements, info booklets, supplementary posters or giveaway ‘freebies’ gifts), are not always still attached anymore, or even with the magazine – if they are, consider it an added bonus to the purchase, but please don’t expect them to be included within your purchase of the magazine

 

If you wish to purchase more than one magazine - I will happily offer you a discounted postal rate to help out – Not a problem, just ask!

Most of these magazines are now impossible to buy as back-issues anymore
