The book is structured thematically, with each chapter covering a specific genre of magazine, including Art and Design, photojournalism, popular culture, and fashion. It includes classic UK and US magazines such as Picture Post , Life , New Yorker , Nova , Interview , The Face , and Wallpaper . The author looks at the 'heydays' of world-famous magazines: Harper's Bazaar in the 1940s, French Elle in the 1960s, British Nova in the 1960s, and Andy Warhol's Interview of the 1970s . It is an accessibly written and thorough survey that considers the methodology, motivations, and aims of the art directors and designers behind the best magazine covers.
