The issue also captures the cinema landscape of July 2007, making it useful for anyone collecting contemporary film magazines from the period.

CONDITION

Pre-owned vintage condition with visible signs of age and handling.

Please study the photographs carefully for the exact condition of this copy.

The front cover shows general surface rubbing and light scratching/scuffing, particularly noticeable across the darker printed areas. There is also edge and corner wear, including some rubbing along the outer edges.

The magazine has been opened and handled, and some pages show the normal curling, light creasing and handling marks associated with a previously owned magazine.

The covers and edges show more noticeable wear than the inner pages. The photographed pages remain clean, colourful and readable, with no obvious large-scale damage visible in the supplied images.

There is no claim of mint condition — this is a used collector copy with age-related wear, and the photographs should be considered part of the condition description.
