Maxim Magazine July 2001 Rare Mandy Hollaway Cover Bill Wyman (1461

Original Maxim Magazine – July 2001, a substantial early-2000s UK men’s lifestyle magazine packed with celebrity, entertainment, fashion, motoring, humour and photography.

This issue is particularly recognisable for its “Mandy – Hollyoaks Cover No.3” front cover, together with additional appearances and features involving well-known names including Bill Wyman and Paul Kaye.

A great period piece from the peak era of British lads’ magazines, with the distinctive oversized Maxim format and a wide variety of early-2000s pop-culture content.

⭐ MAIN COVER

The front prominently advertises:

“MANDY – HOLLYOAKS COVER No.3”

The large full-page cover photograph dominates the issue and remains bright and visually striking.

The cover also advertises material involving:

• Bill Wyman
• Paul Kaye
• World Cheerleading Championships

For collectors of Hollyoaks memorabilia, British television material and vintage lads’ magazines, this is a very distinctive July 2001 issue.

The feature is promoted as an unusual celebrity piece involving the actor/comedian, adding further interest for collectors of British comedy and television memorabilia.

His inclusion gives the issue additional crossover interest to collectors of The Rolling Stones, classic rock and British music memorabilia.

CONDITION – IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ

Pre-owned vintage condition with clear signs of age, handling and previous storage. Not mint.

This is now an approximately 25-year-old magazine and the photographs show genuine age-related wear. It remains a solid, presentable collector/reading copy, but buyers looking for a pristine newsstand example should study the photographs carefully.

FRONT COVER

The front cover remains complete, colourful and highly presentable, with the main cover photograph and typography displaying strongly.

Visible condition points include:

• General surface rubbing
• Numerous light surface scratches/scuffs
• Handling marks
• Edge wear
• Corner wear
• Light creasing
• Slight waviness/curvature from storage
• Wear along the spine edge
• Small bends around the upper and lower corners
• Light rubbing around the outer edges

There is some particularly noticeable age-related handling around the perimeter, but no major section of the front cover appears missing.

The July 2001 date, Maxim masthead and principal cover text remain clear and easy to read.

SPINE / BINDING

From the supplied photographs, the magazine remains together and the binding appears functional.

There is:

• Rubbing along the spine
• Age-related discolouration
• Light creasing
• Wear at the top and bottom of the spine
• General compression from storage

No major detached section is apparent from the photographs.

INTERNAL PAGES

The photographed contents pages remain bright, colourful and readable.

Internally there are expected signs of use such as:

• Light page-edge wear
• Minor corner curling
• Gentle page waviness
• Handling marks
• Light age-related discolouration around some edges

Importantly, the photographed pages still present extremely well for their age, with strong printing and clear photography.

REAR COVER

The rear cover carries a full-page Jack Daniel’s advertisement.

It shows general vintage wear including:

• Surface rubbing
• Light scratches
• Edge wear
• Slight corner wear
• Mild curvature
• Storage/handling marks

The advertisement itself remains clear and attractive.

OVERALL CONDITION

Overall I would describe this as a:

GOOD VINTAGE / USED COLLECTOR COPY

rather than Very Good or Mint.

The magazine has clearly been previously read and stored, but remains a very usable and visually appealing example of an increasingly collectable early-2000s Maxim issue.

Please inspect all photographs carefully before purchasing. They show the exact magazine being supplied and form an important part of the condition description.

POSTAGE & PACKAGING

This vintage magazine will be packed carefully to help protect the front and rear covers, spine, corners and internal pages during transit.

Depending on the final parcel dimensions, it will be protected using sturdy cardboard and/or bubble wrap, with particular attention given to preventing the magazine from bending or moving around inside the parcel.

It will then be placed within suitable outer packaging appropriate to the size of the magazine. The aim is to provide considerably more protection than simply placing the magazine loose inside a mailing bag.
