Loved the articles that described the nitty-gritty of magazines, like how to talk to an art director, and how fact-checking is done at the New Yorker; and the ones with interesting anecdotes, like Ruth Reichel's, Roberta Myers, and Tina Brown's. Felix Dennis's was annoyingly snarky, and John Gregory Dunne's didn't really seem to be about magazines. I almost gave up on the book halfway through his piece, which is the first one!

I loved this series of essays by all different magazine types. It was fascinating to get an insider view of the magazine industry, its past and its future, in an entertaining and informative way. I thought it might be a bit dull, but I was pleasantly surprised by it's readability.
