It is amazing that a dictatorship can still exist in the world of magazines that is folding left and right? I hope AD got your google alert!

I'd always found ADusa cold and flat though I haven't seen it in years. The French version has wonderful photography and real personality and it is one of the most appreciated design/ deco magazines on the market today - and there are tons in France. For what it's worth, it was elected "decoration magazine of the year." If you aren't familiar with it, something tells me you would enjoy it.gésbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094108253356167918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-76485712981429965742009-12-13T10:16:24.664-05:002009-12-13T10:16:24.664-05:00Thank you all.
I assume the Architectural Digest...Thank you all. <br /><br />I assume the Architectural Digest PR people have Google Alert and are aware, if they care, of my blog post. If I am typical of the none-readership then it doesn't surprise me that the magazine might be in decline. <br /><br />John T. you've mentioned two people I'm going to deal with in the next few weeks.

And no mention of the likes of Robert Metzger, whose projects she tried to shove down our throats several times a year for over a decade. (Regular Thomas Britt whose projects all look the same was included however). Any critical letter is "edited to meet the space requirements", so make sure your wording could survive chopping up if you do decide to mail your letter. With the magazine in such decline, part is probably just an effort to create buzz anyway.John Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-87870363339614770822009-12-12T08:21:49.883-05:002009-12-12T08:21:49.883-05:00Send it to the Big Boys at Conde Nast.
