Please see photographs for a visual indication of content and quality – this is the actual magazine you are bidding on.  Each issue includes a variety of advertisements, some in colour in later issues.

The front cover page exhibits some marks bumps and rubbing to the spine, which has resulted in the cover being detached from the main body of the magazine, and to the cover page edges (see photograph).  The staples are lightly rusted but sound with all internal pages securely held.  All pages are present and free from any tears and significant marks other than light age-related discolouration, typical on newsprint of this era.
