This is a rare and vintage issue of the interiors magazine.  One of the more sought-after editions with outstanding content.  It screams fifties Britain. 

Excellent condition.  One small neat cut-out from one of the last pages (a feature on cacti) otherwise perfect; spine sturdy and colours are bright with light wear to cover page.  Slight odour (easily refreshed by placing outside for a few hours).   The photograph you see is the actual magazine.  This issue rarely becomes available on the market.
