Pre-owned / used original magazine.

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

This is an original January 2007 issue of FHM and, from the photographs supplied, appears to be in good overall used condition for its age.

The front cover remains bright, clean and strongly presented, with Tamara Ecclestone's cover photograph, large red FHM masthead and surrounding headlines all clearly visible. There is some light general surface rubbing and handling wear, together with minor wear around the outer edges and corners. The corners show slight softening from storage and previous handling, but there are no obvious large tears or major pieces missing from the front cover.

The spine remains attached and the magazine holds together well in the photographs. Some light rubbing/age wear is visible along the spine and adjoining edges, consistent with a magazine that has been previously read and stored.

The photographed internal pages appear clean, bright and securely bound, with normal light curvature from the binding and previous reading. The contents pages and Tamara Ecclestone feature shown in the photographs remain vivid and readable.

The rear cover features a full-page Givenchy Ange ou Démon fragrance advertisement. It remains present and attached, with some light edge/corner wear and normal surface handling consistent with age.

No obvious major staining, heavy writing, large tears or detached sections can be seen in the supplied photographs. The magazine has not been individually page-counted, so completeness beyond what is shown should not be assumed. Please use the photographs as the primary guide to condition.

This copy is not being described as mint or newsstand-perfect, but it remains an attractive original example from 2007.

Description

Original FHM Magazine – January 2007, featuring Tamara Ecclestone in what the cover describes as her first-ever men's magazine shoot.

This is an especially interesting early feature for collectors of Tamara Ecclestone material, Formula One-related celebrity memorabilia and mid-2000s FHM magazines.

The cover prominently headlines:

“Her first ever shoot… Tamara Ecclestone”

and promotes her as:

“Bernie's little princess”

referencing her connection to Formula One through her father, Bernie Ecclestone.

The cover image presents Tamara in a professionally styled black lingerie/editorial shoot against FHM's clean white January 2007 cover design.

Tamara Ecclestone Feature

The photographed contents page confirms the main Tamara Ecclestone feature begins at approximately page 128.

The contents describes her as:

“Bernie's babe in her very first men's mag shoot”

and the supplied photographs show the opening spread headed:

“Hello World!”

with the accompanying line:

“Making a dream debut is tasty F1 heiress, Tamara Ecclestone”

The feature contains large-format professional photography of Tamara together with editorial text and interview material.

The photographed opening spread shows Tamara in a black fashion/lingerie set, presented across a substantial two-page editorial layout. This confirms that she is not simply a cover appearance but one of the principal photographic features of the issue.

For a collector specifically seeking early Tamara Ecclestone modelling appearances, this is therefore a particularly relevant FHM issue.

January 2007 Magazine Contents

The internal contents page is clearly headed:

FHM Contents – January 2007

and shows a broad selection of the magazine's usual entertainment, humour, lifestyle, celebrity and men's-interest material.

Visible features include:

• Tamara Ecclestone – major cover feature and first men's magazine shoot
• Janet Jackson – featured entertainment/celebrity content
• Jack Black and Kyle Gass / Tenacious D
• Andrew Strauss
• FHM's Honey Finalists
• Gadget Special
• Survival feature
• Oil-rig feature
• Reviews
• Fashion
• Grooming
• Ask Tera
• Ladies' Confessions
• Dating features
• True Stories
• Technology and consumer products

The contents page specifically lists Tamara Ecclestone at page 128, while the gadget feature begins at around page 136.

FHM Honey Finalists

Another prominent part of this issue is the FHM High Street Honeys 2006 Finalists feature.

The magazine promotes:

“Honeys: The Final 10!”

on the front cover, with the competition described as reaching its final stage in Ibiza.

The contents photography shows one of the model shoots associated with this feature, giving the issue additional appeal for collectors of FHM's long-running High Street Honeys competitions.

Other Female Model & Celebrity Content

The photographed contents pages show additional glamour/model photography throughout the magazine, including a large blonde model image alongside regular sections such as Ask Tera, Ladies' Confessions, dating material and other FHM editorial features.

There is also a dedicated Janet Jackson entry listed at approximately page 70.

The magazine therefore contains considerably more photographic and celebrity content than the front cover alone suggests.

Tenacious D / Jack Black

The issue contains a feature on Tenacious D, specifically mentioning Jack Black and Kyle Gass.

This appears around page 56 according to the photographed contents page and forms part of the entertainment coverage in the magazine.

Gadget Special

The front cover prominently advertises a:

“Gadget Special”

covering items such as MP3 players, mobile phones and cameras.

The photographed contents pages place this feature at approximately page 136, making the issue an interesting snapshot of consumer technology from the beginning of 2007.

Fashion & Lifestyle Sections

The later contents page shown in the photographs reveals a substantial lifestyle section containing:

Reviews, Fashion, Grooming, Buyer's Guide, Personal Shopper, Competition, Ask Us Anything and True Stories.

This gives the issue considerable period interest beyond the celebrity photography, particularly for anyone collecting magazines covering mid-2000s fashion, technology and men's lifestyle trends.

Rear Cover

The rear of the magazine carries a striking full-page Givenchy Ange ou Démon fragrance advertisement featuring a female model.

The black, silver and blue-toned advertisement remains visually strong and provides another characteristic example of premium advertising from this era.

Collector Appeal

This issue should be of particular interest to collectors of:

Tamara Ecclestone memorabilia, early celebrity modelling appearances, FHM back issues, Formula One-related celebrity material, FHM High Street Honeys, 2000s men's magazines and British popular-culture publications.

The fact that the magazine specifically promotes this as Tamara Ecclestone's first men's magazine shoot makes it a particularly noteworthy early appearance.
