Condition:
Pre-owned magazine in good used condition overall. The front cover displays visible handling and storage wear, including light surface rubbing, small marks and mild edge wear. There is noticeable rubbing and a small worn or frayed area at the bottom-left spine corner, along with light wear at the remaining corners.

The cover lies mostly flat but shows slight waviness and minor curling around the outer edges. The spine appears intact, with no obvious major splitting visible in the photographs.

The internal contents pages shown remain bright, clean and clearly readable, with strong colour photographs and legible text. There is light page-edge wear and minor handling consistent with a previously read magazine. No obvious large tears, heavy staining or writing can be seen in the supplied photographs. The magazine appears intact, although only the photographed pages have been individually checked.

Please review all supplied images carefully for the exact cosmetic condition.
