This magazine is in excellent vintage condition, especially considering its age. Larger rips to the bottom of cover and back cover where they meet the spine. The spine is missing a piece at the bottom. Otherwise fresh and a very nice copy. Pages are flat, colours brilliant, binding intact. A superb issue.
