Pre-owned / used original magazine.

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

This copy appears to be in good used condition for its age, although it does show normal signs of previous reading, handling and storage.

The front cover remains bright, glossy and strongly coloured, with the main photographic image and typography presenting very well. There is some light rubbing and surface marking, together with minor wear along the outer edges and corners. The top and bottom corners show a little softening/rounding rather than being perfectly sharp.

The spine remains intact and the magazine appears securely bound, although there is some light rubbing and handling wear along the spine edge consistent with a magazine from 2010.

The internal pages photographed appear clean, bright and fully readable, with only ordinary page curvature and light handling wear visible. The large photographic spreads shown remain strongly presented and the centre binding appears secure in the photographs.

The rear cover is also present and attached. From the angled photograph there is some minor edge/corner wear and light surface marking, but no major rear-cover damage is apparent.

No obvious major tears, detached pages or substantial missing sections can be seen in the photographs supplied. However, the entire magazine has not been individually page-counted, so buyers should use the photographs as the principal condition reference.

This is not being described as mint or newsstand-perfect, but overall it appears to be a well-preserved used example.

Description

Original FHM Magazine – October 2010.

This issue is heavily themed around The Inbetweeners, with the front cover featuring the female cast associated with the programme and a substantial internal photographic feature built around the show's school setting.

The cover carries the headline:

“THE INBETWEENERS – School's Out. Girls Require Experience.”

The three principal women featured on the cover are Emily Atack, Emily Head and Hannah Tointon, who are also pictured together in the extensive internal feature.

The magazine uses a distinctive school/office-inspired fashion shoot, with the women photographed in coordinated black-and-white outfits, tying directly into the Inbetweeners theme.

The Inbetweeners Feature

One of the main attractions of this issue is the substantial The Inbetweeners feature beginning around page 92.

The photographed opening spread is headed:

“Schoolgirls Seeking Experience”

and identifies:

• Emily Atack
• Emily Head
• Hannah Tointon

The editorial concept presents the three women in a stylised workplace/school-themed fashion shoot, with the photography spread over a large double-page layout.

This is clearly one of the issue's principal photographic features and directly matches the cover presentation, making it particularly appealing to collectors of The Inbetweeners memorabilia, FHM and British television-related magazines.

Cover Girls

The three women pictured on the cover are shown again together in the internal feature.

Emily Atack

Emily Atack is prominently positioned as one of the principal women associated with the Inbetweeners feature.

Emily Head

Emily Head appears alongside Atack as another major member of the photographed trio.

Hannah Tointon

Hannah Tointon is specifically described in the feature as the newer addition and completes the three-woman cover grouping.

The photography uses coordinated styling and a deliberately polished fashion-shoot interpretation of the programme's school setting rather than ordinary television stills.

Additional Female Photography

The contents pages also show a substantial “Upgrade Girlfriend September” photographic feature beginning around page 140.

The photographed contents spread includes a full-page glamour image accompanying this regular FHM feature.

Elsewhere the magazine includes additional female fashion and model photography as part of the publication's regular editorial mix.

October 2010 Contents & Design

This is a very recognisable example of FHM's 2010-era redesign and editorial style.

Rather than the extremely crowded cover layouts used by many earlier men's magazines, this issue uses a cleaner white background and large full-length studio photography.

The internal pages follow the same modernised presentation, with bold typography, extensive full-page photography and clearly divided sections covering:

Access / entertainment / features / lifestyle / fitness / fashion / television / cars and regular FHM material.

The photographed contents pages also clearly carry the date October 2010, confirming the issue.

Free Style Mag Reference

The front cover has a circular promotion in the upper-right corner advertising a:

“FREE STYLE MAG”

with wording indicating additional The Inbetweeners material.

The photographs supplied show this promotion printed on the main cover, but do not clearly establish whether any originally separate supplementary magazine or insert remains present, so no separate supplement is being guaranteed with this listing.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine will be carefully packed for dispatch to help protect the cover, spine, corners and internal pages while in transit.

Depending on the final packed size and weight, the magazine will be protected using sturdy cardboard packaging and/or suitable bubble wrap, with additional support where appropriate to help reduce bending, crushing, edge damage and movement inside the parcel.

Particular care will be taken to provide support around the magazine's outer corners and spine, as these are naturally vulnerable areas on an original magazine of this age.

Please remember that this is an original October 2010 publication and not a modern reproduction. Buyers looking for a completely flawless or newsstand-mint example should inspect all supplied photographs carefully before purchasing.
