The Vanity Fair Diaries: 1983 - 1992<br />

by Tina Brown<br />

Out now<br />

Tina Brown was barely out of her 20s when she was asked to save a troubled magazine. During her<br />

eight years as editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, Brown kept a daily diary detailing how she reinvented<br />

the magazine, navigated the competitive New York media world and tolerated backstabbing rivals<br />

and some heavy skepticism. From covering the decline of the marriage of Princess Diana and<br />

Prince Charles to the famous Annie Leibovitz cover of a pregnant and naked Demi Moore, Brown’s<br />

diary details how the magazine became the powerhouse it is today.<br />

knowledge takes her all over the world, from Harvard to Cambridge on a quest of self-discovery<br />
