First impression - the editors have been watching a lot of Boardwalk Empire. Big bold lapels complement big bold patterns in big bold colors.

Is this BBB at least better than the Spring one earlier this year?

The semi-attached cover for the cover gets annoying fast.

Beautiful photography, very ad-like copy. Lot of stuff I wouldn't wear photographed in moody shadow. As js4 mentioned, strong emphasis on going big and bold. The BBB done got Spoo'd.

Good bit of space devoted to cars, watches and booze. Wish they'd drop the car stuff altogether. They don't devote enough space to it to be useful -- a single pic and a tiny blurb doesn't cut it these days. Some of the alcohol pieces were interesting, though, again, very ad-like. For $1,000, you can get some of the last of the rum the British Navy used to give out to sailors. I'm sure a lot of former British sailors get a good laugh out of that.

There's some nice fall stuff featured, amid the more OTT items.

I bought it, but I'm still on the fence. I'd suggest browsing through before plunking down your cash.

Curious if anyone in the greater Phoenix area knows where to pick this mag up.

As I recall, I picked up the Spring edition at Costco at a pretty good discount. I plan to see if I can get the Fall BBB there as well.

This cover was a stupid idea. Picked up the mag today, it's not bad.
