I also add my thanks for the easily readable scans so that those of us outside Oz can share the magazine content! A very interesting interview; not only profiling the Danes but also the Australian connection! I am intrigued whether the magazine has a larger than usual readership in the normally republican Oz?
I don't think it is going to be a best-seller gerry - I've just been to the supermarket, and there are stacks and stacks of copies still sitting on the shelves.
And this is in a middle-class suburb of Sydney, not a country town or regional centre where "Vogue" would have a smaller reach I think.
This week's "New Idea" and "Woman's Day" magazines are almost sold out - and they were only published two days ago.
One of those has a colourful spread of the family at Legoland - lots of photos I haven't seen on the internet.
(This wasn't a cover story, so I don't think it had any impact on the sales of that magazine though.)
I also don't think it is the price.
"Vogue" is going for $8.50, whereas most people who buy "New Idea" also buy "Woman's Day" - and that would cost around $35.00 a month.
The republican thing is such a dead horse that those still flogging it here in Oz should be up for animal cruelty. I don't think that would influence sales/lack of sales.
Perhaps the cover was too dark against all the more colourful magazines around it.
Australia is a big magazine market - very cut throat.Many magazines are out every week here, that are never mentioned on TRFs, so I don't think it is a general lack of interest in magazines.
Perhaps they printed more copies than usual.
But in any case, they don't seem to be selling.
P.S. - I've also seen many copies still on the shelves of my two local newsagents - (in a different suburb) - but only one copy of the Duchess of Cambridge's UK "Vogue".
Though that may have been out longer, and probably there were less copies to begin with, being an imported magazine. (Though more expensive at $12.99.)
