Forum has long been known as one of the most established and respected adult letters magazines, often described on its covers as the original and best in its category. Volume 39 Number 2 from 2004 carries a festive theme, featuring a holiday styled cover model presented in classic early 2000s glamour fashion. The strong red and white colour scheme, combined with Forum’s iconic typography, gives this issue an eye catching seasonal appearance.
This edition highlights Forum’s signature content style which focuses on reader submitted letters, personal experiences, lifestyle commentary, and themed articles. The cover teases features relating to holiday gifting humour and a travel themed article about a European retreat described as intimate and exclusive. A handwritten note appears on the title area, reading Harem boy Balls, which is most likely from a previous owner and can be disclosed as part of the magazine’s condition history. The cover price is listed as three pounds and ninety five pence and the publication is clearly marked for adults only.
Forum remains highly collectible because of its emphasis on reader interaction and real world themed content, which distinguishes it from purely pictorial magazines.
