Mags: Covermounts continued...

It seems like just yesterday we were chatting about covermounts, now this morning we've been given two examples to consider care of Notebook: (News Magazines) and Better Homes and Gardens (Pacific Magazines). Notebook: comes with a rather distracting plastic-wrapped Roc Retin-Ox Illuminateur product, while Better Homes comes with a 36-page Christmas Essentials recipe book.

For a magazine that prides itself on neatness and organisation, the Roc product, which is easily squished out of shape, looks completely out of context obscuring the pretty cover of Notebook: (a win for Roc; perhaps not for Notebook:'s art director), while the Better Homes book is a little flimsy (hardly a stocking stuffer) but at least in keeping with the magazine's aesthetic. I am an absolute sucker for a Christmas themed issue of any magazine.

Yours truly,
Girl With a Satchel
