People Weekly Yearbook 2002 Magazine

This item is a copy of People Weekly magazine's Yearbook 2002 special edition. The cover features the title "YEARBOOK 2002" prominently, with the "People weekly" logo beneath it against a depiction of what appears to be a building, likely the World Trade Center, draped with an American flag. Along the left side of the cover are five portrait photographs, each identifying a notable individual from the year, including Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck, Adam Sandler, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The magazine is a standard softcover format, likely made of typical magazine paper. The binding appears to be staple-bound. Visible on the back cover (partial view visible on the right edge) is a UPC barcode and the text "TIME INC. SPECIALS". The colors are vibrant as expected for a magazine cover, dominated by the red, white, and blue of the flag, the blue background behind the building, and the varied colors in the portrait photographs. The magazine shows signs of typical handling, such as minor corner wear or surface scuffs, though no significant damage like tears or creases are clearly visible in the image. The condition appears to be good, with no major flaws discernible. As a yearbook issue from 2002, its estimated age is from that year. There are no unique markings or manufacturing details readily apparent beyond the standard magazine printing. The quality and craftsmanship are standard for a mass-market magazine publication.
