17 out of 20 Vanity Fair Covers…and still hunting

June 13, 2007

That is the number of covers I was able to find, so far, from my hunt to locate all 20 covers of the July 2007 of Vanity Fair’s Bono guest-edited issue. The special issue on Africa carries 20 “historic covers photographed by Annie Leibovitz.” You can see the covers at Vanity Fair’s web site here, but there is nothing like having all the copies of the magazine covering your coffee table at home or at the office to show the power of the visual impact of print. Wish me luck on my hunt, ( missing the Buffett, Gates and Jay-Z covers) because I want my Vanity Fair puzzle to be complete on my coffee table. Every time I think Vanity Fair cannot be anymore innovative, the editors surprise me one more time… Another job well done and another reason to believe that the future of print, and journalism with a purpose, is well, alive and kicking. Thank you Graydon Carter, thank you Bono and thank you Annie Leibovitz.
