Maybe the distribution of the magazine will increase throughout the week, but in all my travels so far, I've found only one store that stocked it, and only four copies were out - Kelly, Agyness, Lauren and Gisele. At a push, I would have got Gisele's cover (although the sludge tones aren't any more appealing on glossy paper) but it was heavily scratched.
And therein lies a problem with producing multiple covers. What if someone can't get the one they want? The content seemed fine, and it was a satisfyingly heavy magazine, but because so much of the sales push is centered on there being a selection of covers, if I can't get the one I want, it feels like I'm having to settle for an inferior issue - so I didn't bother to buy it.
It's the strange psychology of choice - I'd rather have no magazine than pay £6 for a cover I don't want, because of the awareness that 'better' ones are out there somewhere. Yet if there'd been no choice from the start and only one cover produced, I'd have simply been glad to have seen it on sale, and I'd have bought the damn thing today, regardless of who might be on the front of it.

Totally agree with you.
I see it in every shop - but only 4 covers - Rosie, Alessandra, Giselle & Sienna. I would have really liked The Mannequin
About the 'Tits' thing - I think it may have something to do with Isaac Lock's feature onElizabeth Taylor (apparently being called Miss Tits by Richard Burton on the set ot Cleopatra). Or something..
Hell the contents actually look pretty good so far.
Ginta's editorial is beautiful and beyond and the Cavalli are expectedly full-on excess and Guinevere and Cindy are rockin' it.
Pleasantly surprised by Liv's pics too.....looking good.
Thanks for all the scans folks

I bought the Rosie cover today - they were completely out of Agyness'
This is Abbey's promotional video for her editorial (it's absolutely beautiful in print.)
As if we haven’t given you enough model reasons to pick up the newest issue of Love, then here’s one more.
Modelinia provided you with a behind the scenes look at Riley Keough’s photoshoot with Terry Richardson for Love way back in March, but now that the glossy is hitting newsstands, it’s time to delve into the pages. Riley’s featured in an editorial titled “Hollywood Daughters,” showing off a bold head of blonde curls and delicate cross necklaces, displaying her varied talents as a model and actress.
