ZOO Magazine 31 October-6 November 2008 Jana Defi Rebecca Loos Jennifer Ellison SKU 1471

Pre-owned / used vintage magazine.

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

This copy shows normal signs of previous handling, reading and storage. The front cover has light surface rubbing/scuffing, small handling marks and some light creasing, with wear particularly noticeable around the spine, outer edges and corners. There is minor edge rubbing and the corners are not perfectly sharp, consistent with an original weekly magazine from 2008.

The internal pages photographed remain bright, readable and generally present well. There is some light page waviness, handling and minor edge/corner wear in places, but the photographed spreads remain firmly held and usable. The rear cover also shows general surface and edge wear consistent with age.

The supplied photographs show the magazine with its Quantum of Solace / James Bond bonus mini-mag content promoted on the front cover, including the 16-page Bond special advertised with the issue.

No major tears or obvious large missing sections are apparent from the photographs supplied. This is, however, a used collector's magazine rather than a mint/newsstand copy, so please inspect every image carefully before purchasing.

Description

Original ZOO Magazine – Issue 244, dated 31 October–6 November 2008.

This late-2000s issue has a particularly model-heavy cover, presented by ZOO as its “Big Boobs Bonanza”, with numerous glamour models featured across the cover and throughout the magazine. The cover specifically highlights Sophie, Rebecca, Madison, Jana and Gemma, with further model and celebrity photography inside.

One of the most substantial photographed features is the magazine's large “Big Breast Babes” countdown. The supplied pages show a multi-page ranked feature looking at well-known models and celebrities, including clearly identified appearances by:

• Rebecca Loos
• Jessica Simpson
• Salma Hayek
• Charlotte Church
• Angelina Jolie

The photographed contents and introductory pages also show Jana Defi, presented as part of The ZOO Babe Collection No. 53. Her large-format pictorial page is clearly visible in the supplied images and forms part of the issue's glamour/model content.

Additional women visibly featured within the magazine include Jennifer Ellison and Maylene Espensen, who are pictured alongside the main glamour feature.

The issue contains the characteristic mix of material associated with ZOO during 2008, combining model photography with sport, celebrity news, entertainment, motoring, television, gaming and humour.

Other clearly visible contents include material covering Lewis Hamilton and Formula 1, football, Wayne Rooney, Peter Crouch, cricket, Top Gear, Ne-Yo, cars and gadgets.

A particularly notable period extra is the James Bond / Quantum of Solace material. The front cover advertises a FREE Quantum Bonus Mag and 16-page Bond Special, tying the issue directly to the 2008 release of Quantum of Solace. This makes the magazine especially interesting as a late-2000s pop-culture piece combining ZOO's regular content with contemporary James Bond promotional material.
