This magazine is in overall very good vintage condition, showing wear consistent with its age. There are some signs of general wear to the front and back covers, including white scuff marks and creases from handling. Pages 153-163 are loose (these are the final pages of the magazine), but the rest of the pages are in great condition - lying flat, with vibrant colors.
