This magazine is in overall very good vintage condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age. There are visible signs of general wear on the cover, including white scuff marks throughout, a dog-eared bottom corner, and a small, unobtrusive pencil note and pen scribble. The back cover shows surface scratches and a longer tear along the bottom of the spine. Both the front and back covers are slightly loose, but the binding remains sound, and the pages themselves are in great condition.
