It's a Limited, special issue which will come with the Saturday's Times this week, however Jennifer is the cover star of the July issue so I imagine this will also end up being the Newstand cover.

ahh darn, I thought it was the US issue, and was about to go
but of course, we never get covers that good

Giving away with the timess? wow!

It's a 40 page 'sampler' of the July issue.

Times are hard for Marie Claire, and so I suppose they're trying different options to increase readership.

it's beautiful but it looks like one of the magazine that sells paintings rather than fashion... good luck to Marie Claire...

"times are hard for marie claire"

How badly is it doing?
If they put on some AList coverstars it might sell more?!

A sweet cover, but what would swing the deal for me on the newsstand is a reduction in price to £2.50. I hardly ever buy magazines in the £3-£5 range anymore, but I am easily tempted by the price of the cheaper weeklies into making them an impulse purchase on a regular basis - and I will not be the only one - so perhaps a reduced price might be enough to instill a sense of Marie Claire being a good buy, if the magazine has reached that point of desperation.

It's certainly improving in quality I think, but compared to the other monthlies times really are hard for it. The circulation figures were really down for it when the results were last announced. I think what women once went to Marie Claire for is now so readily available online, and so it's proving hard for it stand up against the other fashion magazines.

They've really tried to up sales with so many cover gifts, and this is just another way to get it out. It's surprising as all of the gifts they give away are by good brands, and The Times really is a good newspaper to be teamed with to be giving away the issue with I suppose. I do hope it works for them, I have to say I quite enjoy Marie Claire. But I do wonder if I'd enjoy it quite as much if I was paying that cover price... 12 months for £12 was the subscription deal I secured the other month for it, which I'm more than happy to pay.

I simply adore this cover! I love the background and Jennifer sure knows how to strike a pose. She looks very innocent and beautiful! A lovely cover indeed!

I guess Stylist and Grazia and The Supplements have taken lots of Marie Claires readers.

Beautiful

By far their best cover in a long while....but that's not really saying a lot.
Anyhow totally right vibe for the time of year and Jennifer looks lovely.

The newsstand cover is extremely disapointing which is a shame as the sampler cover is nice and a bit different.
Nothing in the sampler particularly makes you want to go and by it.

Wish they'd stuck with the free copy's cover personally. I like this image less as a newsstand cover.

I am subscribed to this magazine (which kinda sucks as whenever they have a free gift- you do not get it) . i prfer the newstand cover than the subscriber one to be honest.

it took some snaps of Jennifer's editorial with my blackberry- sorry its such crap quality but you get the gist.



snaps by me.
