I'll admit I was initially drawn to the book just based on the Anna Wintour stuff and I was pleasantly surprised the author presented her as someone who is a good businesswoman rather than only focusing on her reputation as an ice queen. I didn't know much about Tina Brown prior to reading this but it was interesting learning about the highs and lows of her career. Supposedly this book is being developed into a television series and I assume their professional rivalry will be a key part of the plot.
Donald Trump's book, The Art of the Deal, was a bestseller and is what launched him into household name status.. Si Newhouse is the one who persuaded Trump to come out with a book and Trump was featured quite often in Condé Nast publications. There were some fascinating decades old quotes about Trump in the book that are pretty spot on and relevant today. He was buddy-buddy with many of the people featured in this book but most have distanced themselves from him or flat out denounced him since he ran for office.
A good behind the scenes look at the world of publishing, particularly at Vogue and Vanity Fair magazines. I haven't read the previous version of this book , but in my opinion the post 1994 material added isn't all that substantial so if you've read the other book, I wouldn't rush out and buy this one. However, if you don't know much about the whole Condé Nast empire and are interested in the topic, I definitely recommend taking a look at this book.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an advance digital copy in exchange for an honest review!… (más)
