Condition
I am not a professional grader, so the following is my own simple classification, intended to supplement the photos of the item for sale.
The list of faults is not exhaustive, and only intended to give an indication of magazines' overall condition.
Message me with any specific questions about condition and I will answer as best I can.

All Magazines...
...are complete and structurally intact, with content unobscured.

Grade 1 (best)
Tanned, with fairly minor shelf wear, marks, scuffs and corner creases.
Binding still strong and reasonably tight.

Grade 2 (average)
Wear, marks, scuffs & creases stronger or more widespread, and there may be some foxing to pages / page edges.
Binding may be a little loose, maybe beginning to split a little.
Some spine wear may be present.
A newsagent may have written original purchaser's name on front cover, or inside, where a bookseller may have also written a price.

Grade 3 (lowest)
As above plus...
Spine wear may be more extensive and binding loose with cover pulling away somewhat (but still intact).
Creasing & marks may be more extensive or noticable and there could be small rips - usually to page or cover edges.

This book is in grade 1.

Standard UK postage is via Royal Mail Second Class post, and I dispatch within 3 working days of payment.
Whilst not 'bagged & boarded' comic-style, packaging will be stiffened to prevent creasing.
If you would like to combine postage for multiple items, select "request total from seller" in your shopping basket, instead of paying immediately. I will work out the most cost-effective rate, depending on size/weight of items and send you an invoice. 

If you have any questions, please message me and I will do my best to answer.
