This magazine is in good / very good overall condition considering its age. The cover exhibits only minor bumps, and some rubbing to the top and bottom of the spine with the original owner’s name written in pencil at the top corner of the front cover (see photograph). All pages are present, intact, and well secured by the rusted, but sound, staples other than the centre page which has worked free from the top staple only. There are no tears, creases, or significant marks internally other than some typical very light age-related discolouration to the page edges.
