THANK YOU VERY MUCH, fender! A historic document I would say... how Condé Nast had seen up to that date (1988) to Spain. Simply amazing!!

thank you for adding but when you do please separate campaigns into different posts. when a post is that large, its sometimes hard to read for those using mobile devices, ipads, or notebooks.
