## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A terrific read!
*by T***Z on March 29, 2025*

When the Going Was Good: An Editor’s Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines by Graydon Carter is a terrific read! Carter has a ton of great stories and he is a wonderful story teller. Carter once stood alone at the summit of the magazine world - the nexus of a challenging, fast changing business with a deep well of creative - photography, design, fashion, writing, etc. A fun to read, present day memoir is basically a well written, extended magazine article. Graydon Carter is a master of his genre, consequently his book is just hard to put down.Carter understood that most human endeavors are relationship driven, he has always gone the extra mile to nurture his business and creative relationships. Because of this his book is much more than a time-line of his successes. In fact, his mishaps are often the more interesting stories. The secret sauce here is the joy he gets from his family, his friendships and the vast array of people he crosses paths with over the years. Pretty much every bold face name over a quarter century passes through Vanity Fair’s pages, this book is rich with interesting people.It would be hard for a person under 40 years old to understand the power these publications once had. I would imagine a younger person is aware of what a magazine is but if they were to think of them at all it would be to wonder why on Earth their supermarket allows floor space for them. But once, not really that long ago, they informed us, entertained us and the inspired us. And when this world existed there were giants who chose what we would concern ourselves with on any given month. Among these giants of publishing there was one person who stood above the rest, Graydon Carter. It’s a terrific book!
