In a blog post dated October 10th, 2013, I chose Vanity Fair‘s October 2013 issue as cover of the week.
I’m surprised to report that newsstand sales were mediocre, selling 6% less than the average of the other eleven issues in 2013. It sold better than 5 issues, but worse than 6 other issues of VF 2013.
The big seller for VF in 2013 was their September issue, featuring “Diana’s True Love.” It sold 49,059 copies at a 49% sell-through in Canada, compared to just 33,027 for the October issue.
