How to - Look, feel, do your best.

This beautiful cover is ideal for framing.  Genuine original.  

There's an advert on the reverse of the cover page for Wamsutta Supercale sheets and linen, which shows a uniformed woman folding bedding in to a hope chest.  A lot of war related fashion ads also, uniforms, beauty etc.

A scarce war-time issue dated 15th May 43, produced during World War Two.

Condition:

Good.  Ex-Library but in acceptable shape.  Small enclosed tearing to leading edge (barely visible).  Spine reinforced with tape; an old repair.  4 pages missing from 2 separate fashion shoots (2 pages from each). Two small areas of staining running throughout most of the pages, one measure just 2x5cm and the other 2x9cm.  Still a rare and sought after magazine...
