Read Ed Kosner’s autobiography today – another good thing about Kinokuniya is that it actually sells media books – and although useful for those thinking about a career as editors, it was pretty dull for at least a third of it. The book, replete with cheesy cover, chronicles Kosner’s stewardship of Newsweek, New York magazine, Esquire and the Daily News. It was quite a career, just a shame the book does not live up to the CV.
