“Dear Sam Starbuck: Thank you for being a loyal subscriber to Details; unfortunately the print magazine will no longer be published. In its place, we will be sending you GQ for the duration of your Details subscription.”

1. Man, I already subscribe to GQ, do you know how many dudes subscribe to Details and GQ in combination? THEY WERE OFFERED TOGETHER AS A SUBSCRIPTION PACKAGE.

2. Whoa, what went down at Details? That’s a spectacular and unexpected sudden implosion. 

I bought a few issues of Blueprint: Design Your Life magazine ten years back, when it was the younger-hipper version of Martha Stewart Living; it disappeared pretty quickly too. My wild guess would be that even if Pinterest wasn’t around yet, the young, hip women were on the internet instead of buying magazines in the checkout line. That may explain Details as well.
