*************
Good condition. It's a little worn on the cover as visible in the photograph with some tearing. The cover is partially detached at one staples, the rest of the magazine is held securely at both staples. The magazine is complete. One unrelated internal page has a 3"tear (advert with a cooking feature on reverse). This is a lightweight 50+ year old magazine and is very good for it's age.The photograph is of the actual magazine you will receive. Very extremely rare launch issue of The Sunday Times!
