CONDITION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Pre-owned vintage condition with quite noticeable age and handling wear. This is not a mint copy.

The most significant condition issue is around the upper-left corner/spine area, where there is a noticeable section of paper loss, tearing and crushing/wear. This is clearly visible in the photographs and should be taken into consideration.

The front cover also has:

• General surface rubbing and light marking
• Edge wear around the perimeter
• Creasing and handling marks
• Wear along the spine
• Corner wear
• Small marks/age-related discolouration in places
• Noticeable wear towards the lower edges and corners

Despite this, the front cover artwork remains bright, colourful and highly presentable, with the main Atomic Kitten imagery and cover text still displaying strongly.

The interior pages shown remain well attached and very readable, with strong colour reproduction for their age. There is some expected age-related page wear, edge wear and handling consistent with a magazine dating from February 2002.

The rear of the magazine also shows surface and edge wear, while the angled photograph confirms that the spine and outer extremities have picked up rubbing and knocks through storage and use.

Overall, this is best regarded as a well-used but collectable original copy, rather than a high-grade example.

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

POSTAGE & PACKAGING

The magazine will be carefully packed for dispatch with protection appropriate to its size and condition. Sturdy cardboard reinforcement and/or bubble wrap will be used as appropriate, with particular attention given to protecting the covers, spine and vulnerable corners from additional bending, crushing or impact while in transit.
