"Having done an issue on woman, we decided the time had come to do one on man. Mario Testino, in his second run as guest editor, conceptualized the ultimate men's magazine complete with past icons and new heroes, advertisements from the 1970s, photographs made by famous women of their men, and man as seen by contemporary artists. Neville Wakefield edited an all-vellum section of video stills, Will McBride contributed a section called "Manliness", and Mario Testino did "Man at Work". More than one hundred contributors participated, including photographers Richard Avedon, Nick Knight, Mario Sorrenti, Tim Hailand, Daniel Kramer, Jeff Burton, Solve Sundsbo, and Pedro Claudio; filmmakers Larry Clark, and Sofia Coppola; gallerist Sadie Coles; music-video director Hype Williams; artist Sarah Lucas; and models Cindy Crawford, Gisele Bundchen, and Claudia Schiffer". A brand new, pristine unnumbered hors commerce copy marked "Display" by the publisher still in its shrinkwrap in the publisher's unprinted shipping carton. It has been priced accordingly. 1-888645-23-7 Inventory Number: 019277
