Garden & Gun debuts…
April 15, 2007
What does Garden & Gun have in common with Condé Nast Portfolio besides being born on the same day? The publishers of both magazines are ex-publishers of The New Yorker. Rebecca Darwin, shares the same honors with David Carey as being a former publisher of The New Yorker. And in the midst of all the fanfare accompanying CN Portfolio’s launch, Ms. Darwin ushered her first issue of the 21st Century Southern America to the market place without any fanfare compared to that of her colleague at her former employer. As for the cover, no surprise here. Pat Conroy graces the cover of the first issue of Garden & Gun. The magazine has a total of 132 pages from which almost 23 pages are ad pages. Editor in Chief John Wilson has managed to create a first issue with a lot of “fanfare” writings and photography. To get your hands on the first issue of Garden & Gun, click here, or just visit a newsstands and spend your $4.95. It is worth it. The second issue is set for June and the magazine plans to publish 10 issues a year.
