TOTAL STYLE
"UNCOVER MADONNA" is the cover title of this totally brand new Madonna cover from the UK (last used on the Dutch Avantguard mag). This is a quality 'Total Style' magazine and is somewhat scarce as I have seen just a few available in the stores. Comes with five page feature called "Ethereal Girl" which includes old and new pictures. This is a lot harder to find than I initially thought and I have managed to locate just a few locally, and have even taken the last copies from the UK distributor who now have NO MORE in stock!. All copies left are mint and once these go expect this to become a mega rare cover in the future, if not sooner, so please email to reserve before it's too late.
