bibliophilebookclub's review against another edition
3.0
I’m a big fan of non-fiction relating to fashion and magazines so Glossy looked to be right up my alley. And while I did enjoy it, I found it to be quite drawn out at times. It was definitely an interesting look into a huge publishing corporation and it’s machinations, but it seemed to almost get lost in descriptions that weren’t needed. That being said, it was well-rounded, and you can tell there was a lot of research put into it. It still feels like there is a lot left unsaid when it comes to fashion glossies, especially with Vogue. Almost an omerta-like aura around it all. Still an enjoyable read, and definitely one for those who would like to know more about the background for this publishing behemoth.
