Zoo Magazine 28 October-3 November 2005 Gemma Atkinson Brit TV Girls SKU 1486

Original Zoo Magazine, Issue 90, dated 28 October-3 November 2005.

This issue is heavily centred around Gemma Atkinson, who dominates the front cover and is also given a substantial interior glamour feature. The cover promotes a “Post-9PM Watershed Special” and a broader British TV Girls theme, making this a strong mid-2000s lads’ magazine issue for collectors of Gemma Atkinson and British television glamour features.

Inside, the contents page confirms Gemma Atkinson as one of the main cover features, with her section beginning around page 56. The photographed feature is headed “British TV Girls – Loose Women” and presents Gemma in a multi-page pictorial styled around late-night television glamour.

The issue also includes a mixture of the usual Zoo material from the period, including:

• Gemma Atkinson – major cover and interior feature
• British television glamour theme
• “Best of TV Girls” feature
• First Timers glamour section
• Rio Ferdinand / England football coverage
• England v Pakistan cricket content
• Movie special
• “Crazy Holden” custom car feature
• Ice hockey feature
• Football manager feature
• Cricket feature
• True Crime: NYC
• TV guide
• Movies and DVDs
• Music and games
• Jimmy Carr
• Weird Week
• Junkmail and jokes

The photographed interior spread shows Gemma Atkinson in lingerie photography across a full double-page feature, including both colour and monochrome portrait-style imagery. This is one of the standout elements of the issue and makes it particularly attractive to Gemma Atkinson collectors and collectors of early Zoo Magazine.

Condition

Pre-owned with visible age and handling wear.

The front cover remains colourful and presents well overall, but there is noticeable wear consistent with a magazine of this age.

Visible condition points include:

• Light creasing and surface handling marks to the front cover
• Wear and rubbing around the outer edges
• Small bends and softened corners
• Spine wear with several small white scuffs/nicks visible along the fold
• Minor splitting/creasing around portions of the spine edge
• Slight waviness and curvature through the magazine from storage/use
• Back cover shows light rubbing, handling wear and some creasing
• Interior pages photographed appear generally clean, bright and firmly attached
• No major detached sections are visible in the supplied photographs
• No obvious writing or heavy staining is visible from the photographed areas

Overall, it remains a very presentable original copy but should be considered a used collector’s magazine rather than mint condition.
