Condition

Pre-owned vintage condition with visible age, handling and storage wear.

The front cover remains bright, colourful and clearly readable, with the main Kimberley Davies cover image and text presenting strongly for its age.

There is noticeable edge and corner wear, particularly along the bottom edge and around the bottom-left corner, where there is visible rubbing, scuffing and a small amount of creasing/wear. The lower front edge shows further surface rubbing and small marks.

The spine appears to remain attached and intact but shows general rubbing, light creasing and age-related wear along its length. The corners are slightly softened from previous handling and storage.

The front cover also shows some light surface wear and small marks consistent with a magazine dating from 1996. There is slight natural waviness/curvature to the magazine rather than it sitting perfectly flat.

The photographed interior contents pages remain clean, bright and clearly legible, with the pages appearing securely held within the binding. Normal page curvature is visible where the magazine has been opened for photography.

The rear cover is present and attached. It shows light surface rubbing/scuffing, edge wear and minor storage marks, particularly around the spine and lower edge.

From the supplied photographs, I cannot see any obvious major tears, heavy staining, handwriting or clearly loose pages.

As this is a vintage magazine, please inspect all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
