Original FHM Magazine – October 2011 issue, with Romanian singer and model Alexandra Stan as the main cover star.

This is a particularly recognisable early-2010s FHM issue built around Alexandra Stan following the international success of “Mr Saxobeat”. She dominates the front cover and is given a substantial photographic feature inside the magazine.

The supplied images have been checked closely. No separate poster is visible in the photographs, so none is being claimed as included.

Alexandra Stan – Main Cover Star

Alexandra Stan is the principal celebrity featured throughout the issue.

The front cover promotes her with:

“You Heard The Tune Everywhere! Now Meet The Girl… Alexandra Stan”

The photographed contents page confirms her main feature begins around page 46, describing her as the pop sensation behind Mr Saxobeat.

A photographed opening spread from her feature shows a large beach-set image accompanied by bold retro-style typography. The feature discusses her international rise after the success of her music and presents a substantial professionally photographed FHM shoot.

For collectors of Alexandra Stan memorabilia, European pop music, early-2010s celebrity magazines or FHM cover issues, this is the standout content of the magazine.

Eminem

Eminem is another major name prominently advertised on the front cover with the headline:

“Pills, Pows & Passion – Eminem Unmasked”

The contents page lists a substantial feature around page 70, covering the story of Marshall Mathers / Eminem and his progression into one of the biggest-selling artists of his era.

His prominent cover mention gives this issue additional crossover appeal to music memorabilia collectors.

The magazine describes her as an American model and actress, with a large accompanying photograph shown in the supplied images.

Condition

Condition has been assessed carefully from all supplied photographs.

• Front cover retains strong colour and presents well overall.
• Alexandra Stan cover image remains clear and attractive.
• There is visible handwritten black-ink writing on the front cover, including writing beside Alexandra Stan's name reading approximately “Miss Saxobeat”.
• There also appears to be a small handwritten annotation near the lower part of the front cover.
• General light surface rubbing and handling marks are visible.
• Some edge rubbing / whitening can be seen, particularly around the outer edges and spine.
• Top edge shows minor wear.
• Top-right corner has a visible diagonal crease/fold.
• Bottom corners show some softening and light wear.
• Spine remains intact but displays age-related rubbing and handling wear.
• Interior pages photographed appear securely attached.
• Interior printing remains bright with good colour.
• Some pages naturally show light waviness/curvature from use and storage.
• No major page separation is visible in the supplied photographs.

Because of the writing to the front cover and visible general edge/corner wear, this should not be considered a mint collector's copy. It is better described as a good readable/collectable used example with clearly visible cosmetic imperfections.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine will be carefully packed for dispatch, with particular attention paid to protecting the cover, spine, corners and page edges.

Depending on the final size and weight of the packed parcel, the magazine may be protected using sturdy cardboard reinforcement, bubble wrap, protective wrapping or a combination of these materials.

Cardboard reinforcement may be placed around the magazine to help keep it flat and reduce flexing or bending while in transit. Additional protective wrapping may also be used to help prevent surface rubbing, corner knocks and movement inside the parcel.

Once protected, the magazine will be securely enclosed in suitable outer packaging, such as a cardboard box or appropriately reinforced parcel, depending on the finished packed size.
