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.

Although the cover page edges and spine display a little rubbing and knocks (see photograph), and this magazine remains in very good overall condition considering its age and with all pages firmly held by the rusted, but sound, staples.  All pages are present, intact and free from tears, creases, and significant marks other than typical light age-related discolouration to the page edges, typical on newsprint of this era.
