Shrink-wrapped magazines?

February 5th, 2009

I just received my March 2009 issue of Marie Claire, and am very excited to see that for the first time in months, it didn’t arrive shrink-wrapped in plastic. Maybe the editors finally received enough letters in protest (including mine). This new plastic-wrapping trend–seemingly for the sole purpose of enclosing a couple of advertisements–has been a disheartening one. This past year, even the “eco” issues of several favorites arrived this way. I mean, really! My letter of complaint to Domino is, as of yet, unanswered. But I think I’ll write MC’s Madam Editor a thank-you note right now.
