Mimosa Falling in Love 12

This rare South African reprint was published in 1959 by Mimosa Publications (S.A. Magazine Co.).
Cover and Interior pages are newsprint - so after being read and swopped a few times they would likely be falling apart and thrown away.

Cover and Interior printed in colour.
The printing reproduction from the original was very good quality. This issue is only 24 pages.
