FREE CD

The front cover prominently states “FREE CD!”

However, the cover itself also states:

“If you can read this, your free CD is missing.”

Therefore, the original cover-mounted CD is NOT included with this copy. This should be made clear to buyers.

Condition

Pre-owned vintage condition.

The magazine remains complete-looking and readable in the supplied photographs, but there is visible age and storage wear.

The front cover shows general surface rubbing, light scratches and handling marks, together with some wear around the outer edges and corners.

There is visible edge and spine wear, including small creases and rubbing consistent with a magazine of this age. The lower and outer corners show some minor knocking/curling.

The internal pages photographed appear generally clean and bright with good colour reproduction. Some page-edge wear and normal handling marks are present, but the photographed features remain clear and readable.

The original free CD is missing, as clearly indicated by the exposed message on the front cover.

Please inspect all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description and show the exact magazine being supplied.

Postage

The magazine will be carefully packed for dispatch, using cardboard protection and/or bubble wrap depending on parcel size, helping protect the covers, spine, corners and internal pages from bending or crushing while in transit.
