The front cover page exhibits some minor marks, age discolouration and bumps to the edges (see photograph) and the number ‘113’ is written in pencil on the top of the cover page.  The staples are lightly rusted, but sound, and continue to hold the cover and all pages securely.  All pages are present and free from any tears, creases and significant marks although there is a little light age-related discolouration to the page edges.  This magazine is in very good overall condition considering its age.
