Condition – IMPORTANT

This is an original used magazine from January 2003 and shows clear signs of previous ownership and storage.

From the supplied photographs:

• Front cover remains bright and presentable overall
• Visible rubbing and surface marks from handling
• Lower-right front corner has noticeable creasing / bending
• Other corners show some softening and wear
• Cover edges show general age-related rubbing
• Spine shows handling wear
• Internal pages appear generally clean and readable
• Some internal page corners and edges show light creasing
• Page block remains together
• Rear cover shows general handling and edge wear
• No major detached sections are visible in the supplied photographs

Overall, I would describe this as a good used collector’s copy with moderate cosmetic wear, rather than mint or near-mint.

Please examine all supplied photographs carefully, as they show the actual magazine being sold and form an important part of the condition description.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine will be packed carefully for dispatch.

Depending on the size of the parcel, it will be protected using sturdy cardboard and/or bubble wrap to help protect the covers, spine, corners and internal pages from bending, crushing and other transit damage.
