this month 's issue of Vogue -lrb- July 2008 , with Nicole Kidman on the cover -rrb- clarify for I the significant drop in quality at american Vogue over the year . the magazine have reduce in size , now smaller than US letter paper . the spine measure less than 1\/4 inch . the printing and paper quality be low . the content of the July issue , in particular be watery . Vogue use to contain expansive description of trend and detail , but if the last few issue be a indicator , they must have fire a lot of writer . what exist now be not much more than product placement ad . the photo page be few in number as well . I know that there be much more to fashion now that what be in Vogue lately . what be go on ? maybe there need to be a change in editorial leadership . in the meanwhile , sadly I probably will not renew .
