This NEST (A QUARTERLY OF INTERIORS) Magazine is dated SPRING 1999, ISSUE #4. This is a slightly larger standard size magazine, it is a very unique idealistic magazine of 174 pages, and is mostly in very condition with some minor cover wear. That includes a faint minor small 1" bend on the bottom right corner. Some minor reading wear (small faint bends from page turning on the middle right side of the front cover and middle left of the back cover). Some minor edge wear on the front and back covers that is hard to see, nothing else noticeable, see photos. The inside is also in excellent condition with very little reading wear or edge wear, just a small faint minor bend on the same bottom right corner on the first several pages, and there are no cutouts, missing pages, stains, etc., and there is no shipping label on this magazine, see photos.

Shipping this larger, heavier (weighs over 1 1/2 lbs.) magazine by USPS Ground Advantage Mail costs $12.90 to the USA and by eBay International Shipping to Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australasia. Shipping is done once or twice per week, I primarily sell to the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australasia, I will sell to other countries, if you email me first.
