Original UK Zoo Magazine, Issue 266, dated 10–16 April 2009, with Kelly Andrews as the dominant cover and interior feature.

This issue is particularly centred around Kelly’s arrival at Zoo, with the front cover announcing “It’s Kelly!” and promoting a large new feature. The magazine contains an extended professionally photographed glamour spread introducing Kelly, followed later by a dedicated Zoo Babe Collection No. 70 full-page photograph.

Kelly Andrews Feature

Kelly Andrews is the principal attraction throughout this issue. The contents page describes her as Zoo’s new signing, and the photographed interior includes a large double-page introductory feature headed simply “Kelly”.

The supplied photographs show several different layouts from the feature, including studio photography and a full-page Zoo Babe Collection appearance. This is therefore a particularly desirable issue for collectors specifically looking for Kelly Andrews material rather than simply a brief appearance.

Pre-owned vintage magazine with visible age and handling wear.

From the photographs:

Front cover remains colourful and displays well.
Noticeable edge and corner wear is present.
Light creasing and handling marks are visible around the cover.
Spine shows wear consistent with reading and storage.
Some page edges show minor curling/waviness.
Interior pages shown remain bright, readable and securely held.
Light marks, rubbing and age-related surface wear are visible in places.
Rear cover has some light rubbing/scuffing and edge wear.
No obvious major missing sections or severe tears are visible in the photographs.

Overall this appears to be a good used collector’s copy, but certainly not mint. Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
