\n\tWith Anna Wintour ending her day-to-day duties as editor of Vogue, publishing giant Conde Nast is going through some changes, but a new book charts the halcyon days of the publisher behind\u00a0Vogue, Vanity Fair,\u00a0The New Yorker, and\u00a0GQ. Empire of the Elite: Inside Cond\u00e9 Nast, the Media Dynasty That Reshaped America, was written by New York Times journalist Michael Grynbaum and is available now. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe book charts the \u201cglitzy heyday\u201d of Conde Nast from the 1980s through the 2000s, a mostly bygone era when magazines held huge cultural clout and could afford to spend lavishly, before the era of shrinking ad revenue and influencers. In addition to the hardcover, it\u2019s available as an ebook or audiobook. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to publisher Simon & Schuster, \u201cthe book is full of fresh behind-the-scenes reporting about a plethora of boldface names and sets out to explain how Cond\u00e9 Nast established itself as a de facto American aristocracy, anointing an elite and dictating the culture they presided over.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tNotably, this isn\u2019t the only book released this year that takes a nostalgic lens to Cond\u00e9 Nast\u2019s legacy. Longtime Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, who left the publication in 2017, penned When the Going Was Good, which was released in March of this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tLike Empire of the Elite, When the Going Was Good is a wistful nod to \u201cthe Last Golden Age of Magazines,\u201d as the subtitle to Graydon\u2019s memoir puts it. <\/p>\n
