Football Favourite. A bound edition containing the first 17 editions

A very special item. Featuring the first edition (4th September 1920) and then 16 more consecutive editions. Remember it only stayed in this format for the first 35 issues. It then rebranded as The Football and Sports Favourite running from 7 May 1921 to 30 March 1929 (Nos. 36-447).Total Issues: 448.

They are as expected for a bound edition in pristine condition. The book surround is also in good shape.
