Quarto, photo-illustrated perfect-bound wraps, a robust 292 pp. Very Good, only due to some smushing of the spine along its length, hence a moderate leaning look (see scan).

Box-shipped; no bags here. New York: Condé Nast / Alexandra W. Golinkin, 1998. The April, 1998 issue of Allure Magazine. Quarto, photo-illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 196 pp. Near Fine, only due to a small spine-top abrasion and 3/8" slit through the edge of the rear cover and the last page, these being as-received (never-read).
