Zoo Magazine 23-29 January 2009 Ami Grove Real Girls Ryan Giggs Bruno SKU 1512

Original Zoo Magazine dated 23-29 January 2009, a very typical late-2000s UK men’s weekly combining glamour photography, celebrity features, football, sport, comedy, cars, entertainment and topical news.

The front cover is dominated by the magazine’s “Real Girls” special, promoted as a large relationship/glamour feature. Ami Grove is also prominently advertised on the cover, alongside features connected with Bruno / Sacha Baron Cohen, Ryan Giggs, Andy Murray, the Detroit Motor Show and UFC gaming.

Inside, the photographed contents pages show a broad snapshot of Zoo’s January 2009 coverage. Highlights visible include Andy Murray and his Grand Slam form, Ryan Giggs discussing Manchester United and the title race, entertainment material involving Bruno, comedy/web features, Celebrity Big Brother material, cars from the Detroit Motor Show, football coverage, gadgets and the magazine’s regular humour and lifestyle sections.

The issue also contains an extensive Real Girls glamour feature with several models/readers presented across multi-page layouts. Names visible within the photographed feature include Peaches Adams, Kirsty Burrows, Becky-Jay Rowbotham and Tina Jones. These pages form a substantial part of this particular issue and give it strong period appeal for collectors of Zoo and late-2000s British men’s magazines.

Additional photographed content includes the magazine’s regular Zoo Office Cam, news, sport, girls, features and bonus sections. The issue is a good example of Zoo’s busy, colourful tabloid-style design from the period, with large headlines, photo-heavy layouts and a mix of sport, entertainment, cars and glamour material.

Condition

Pre-owned / used vintage magazine condition.

From the supplied photographs, the magazine remains complete-looking and generally presentable, but does show normal age and handling wear. The front cover has visible rubbing and wear along the spine and outer edges, with some small scuffs and light creasing, particularly around the corners and lower edge. There is also some mild surface wear consistent with storage and previous reading.

The spine appears intact, although there is noticeable rubbing and compression along it. Interior pages shown appear securely attached and generally clean, with some natural page curvature, light edge wear and minor handling creases. The back cover is present and shows some light surface/edge wear and slight curvature but no major damage visible in the photographs.

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