It’s a wonderful coffee table book, a picture book for adults. Alas, I have no coffee table.

Wish they were all the covers, but a spectacular look at the last 125 years.

Fascinating look at the fashion magazine Vogue through the years. The covers used to feature illustrations, then moved to models and finally models faces, rarely their entire bodies. Also, more emphasis on supermodels and celebs as the years went by and the magazine got heavier, more expensive and more upscale.

A great coffee- table book! with the exception of a very few covers, family friendly as well (which is more than I can say for most fashions mags). I also looked at the updated version, which I like a great deal, but the cover they chose was inferior in my opinion -- somehow I don't think a sheer dress is classic enough to represent Vogue as a monumental entity over a century year old.

wish the covers were in chronological order..

This new collection explores the beautiful covers from American Vogue. Not only does this timeline showcase the artful covers, a history of fashion and art is also presented. The book also has Vogue covers from the 1800's. This is a wonderful coffee table book and a great edition for any Vogue lovers out there.

Personally I think this is the best book that anyone could have created... I looked for it for like 3 months and I couldn't find it so just when I was gonna give up I found it in a little shop in Paris and it was the last one!!! I was the happier girl on earth I mean owning this is something really really special!!

This was fun. I was looking for a certain type of image and decided to browse this. Some amazing beautiful photos over the years splashed the cover of this magazine. (i think i liked the 40s and 50s best, they had character and almost told stories all by themselves...)

This is more than a collection of covers...this is a timeline of art and fashion.

While this book has great photos and captures the thematic history of Vogue covers in a succinct way, it's a disappointing visual reminder that women of color weren't considered beautiful in American society for a longgggggg time. Sigh. I'm glad I borrowed this book before committing to buy it. It will not be going on my coffee table.
