Zoo Magazine 27 February-5 March 2009 Issue 260 Sophie Anderton SKU 1512

Original Zoo Magazine, Issue 260, dated 27 February-5 March 2009. A classic late-2000s British men’s weekly combining glamour photography, celebrity interviews, football, sport, films, gaming, gadgets, cars, humour and general entertainment.

The principal cover feature is Sophie Anderton, who is prominently photographed on the front cover and receives a substantial multi-page glamour feature inside. The supplied photographs show the feature extending across full and double-page layouts, including the opening spread headed “Sophie’s Rudest Ever Shoot!” and a further full-page Zoo Babe Collection – Sophie Anderton image. This is clearly one of the major editorial features of the issue and makes the magazine particularly relevant to Sophie Anderton collectors.

The opening “This Week in Zoo” pages give a good snapshot of British popular culture from early 2009. Other clearly visible features include Freida Pinto, coverage of the then-new Dark Knight game, a feature on The Simpsons, new mobile phones and gadgets, motoring material and extensive football coverage.

Football content is particularly prominent, with Frank Lampard, Fernando Torres, Ryan Giggs and Robin van Persie featured in relation to the returning Champions League. The contents also show Sergio Ramos, Eduardo, Adebayor and other football-related material.

Other visible subjects and features include Kevin Bishop, a feature on Britain’s cheapest pubs, boxing, motoring, gadgets and entertainment, giving the issue the typical broad Zoo mix of celebrity, sport and humour.
