Pre-owned / used original magazine.

Please study all supplied photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

This copy shows normal signs of previous reading, handling and storage, but presents well overall for a magazine dating from December 2007.

The front cover remains bright and strongly coloured, with the large Hilary Duff cover photograph, FHM masthead and principal cover text all clearly presented. There is visible light rubbing and surface marking, together with general edge wear and some softening to the corners. The lower and side edges show minor handling wear, and the cover is not perfectly flat when viewed from the side.

The spine remains attached and appears structurally sound, although there is some rubbing and age-related wear along the spine and adjoining cover edges.

The internal pages shown remain bright, readable and securely held, with normal page curvature and light handling wear from previous reading. The photographed contents pages and Emma Griffiths feature appear clean overall, with no major tears or serious staining apparent in the supplied photographs.

The page block shows a little natural age-related waviness/curvature when the magazine is viewed from the side. The rear cover, carrying a Calvin Klein advertising image, is still attached and shows some light edge and corner wear consistent with use and storage.

No major detached sections or obvious substantial missing portions can be identified from the supplied photographs. However, the magazine has not been individually page-counted, so the photographs should be regarded as the main reference for condition and contents.

This copy is not being represented as mint or newsstand-perfect.

Description

Original FHM Magazine – December 2007, featuring Hilary Duff as the principal cover model and major celebrity feature.

This is a substantial late-2000s issue of the British men's lifestyle magazine, combining celebrity photography, interviews, fashion, entertainment, technology, health, humour and contemporary features.

The front cover is dominated by an extensive studio portrait of Hilary Duff, with the feature promoted as a:

“World Exclusive”

and headlined:

“Dark Hilary Duff Angel – Young. Rich. Hot.”

The issue therefore represents an interesting period in Hilary Duff's career when FHM was presenting her in a noticeably more mature fashion/editorial setting than the family-oriented image with which she had previously been strongly associated.

Hilary Duff Feature

The photographed contents page confirms that the principal Hilary Duff feature begins around page 146.

FHM describes the American singer and actress as its major featured personality for the issue, accompanied by a large photographic shoot.

The contents imagery shows Hilary in a darker, fashion-led portrait style, while the front cover uses a black outfit against FHM's distinctive red, white and grey December 2007 design.

For collectors of Hilary Duff memorabilia, celebrity magazines and mid-2000s FHM issues, this is clearly the central attraction of the magazine.

Emma Griffiths Feature

A second substantial photographed feature is devoted to Emma Griffiths.

The contents page lists her feature at approximately page 136, and one of the supplied photographs shows the opening spread.

Emma Griffiths is photographed in a fashion/swimwear editorial setting, with the article discussing her television and modelling career.

The introductory text references her earlier modelling work and her move into television, while the photographed spread uses a dramatic contemporary FHM-style layout with a large full-page image.

This provides another strong model/celebrity feature within the issue in addition to the major Hilary Duff cover story.

Other Magazine Contents

The photographed contents pages reveal a particularly broad selection of late-2007 material.

Visible features include:

• Hilary Duff – principal cover feature
• Emma Griffiths – model and television feature
• Bruce Willis – Q&A
• Eric Roberts – Q&A
• Robert Mugabe feature
• The Centurions
• Grub Smith
• Sex Explorer
• Frank Lucas
• Assassin's Creed
• Call of Duty 4
• Danielle Harris / Halloween
• Noel Fielding / The Mighty Boosh
• Technology and gadget coverage
• Men's fashion
• Fitness and health
• Watches
• Food
• Jobs and money
• Travel
• True stories
• Regular FHM lifestyle material

The issue therefore captures a particularly recognisable slice of late-2007 popular culture, with gaming titles such as Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4 appearing alongside Hollywood personalities, television, style, technology and FHM's regular model photography.

December 2007 Contents Pages

The internal contents pages are clearly marked:

12/07

confirming this as the December 2007 issue.

The magazine uses the visually busy editorial design typical of FHM during this period, with large feature photography alongside small preview images, page references and colour-coded editorial sections.

One contents spread prominently features Hilary Duff, while another combines reviews, style, technology, true stories and lifestyle sections.

Emma Griffiths Editorial

The photographed Emma Griffiths spread begins at approximately page 137.

It features a large fashion photograph accompanied by editorial text discussing her modelling and television work.

The article references her career progression from modelling into television and ties the shoot into a shopping/fashion concept.

For buyers particularly interested in Emma Griffiths, the supplied photographs confirm that this is a substantial editorial feature rather than merely a brief contents-page appearance.

Additional Cover Features

The front cover also promotes a number of period features, including:

“13 Ways To Look Better In The Sack”

and a prominent:

“FREE! 36-Page Health Mag!”

promotion.

The cover describes the advertised health supplement as covering numerous health concerns. However, the photographs supplied do not clearly establish that a separate original health supplement is still present, so no separate supplement is being guaranteed as included.

The cover also promotes features relating to relationships, health, Bruce Willis, mobile phones and other typical FHM lifestyle subjects.

Collector Interest

This issue should appeal particularly to collectors of:

Hilary Duff memorabilia, Emma Griffiths material, FHM back issues, 2000s men's magazines, celebrity photography and late-2000s British popular-culture publications.

The December 2007 date also places it in the period when magazines such as FHM were combining traditional celebrity/model photography with increasingly extensive coverage of gaming, technology, film and lifestyle subjects.
