Don't Call W Magazine's Coffee Table Book a Coffee Table Book

W magazine is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special book out in stores this week. W: The First 40 Years, is a 340-page hardcover book that features a look back at the magazine’s history. It contains lots of photographs and new essays from writers such as Lynn Hirschberg, Marian McEvoy and Vince Aletti. But the most important thing you must know about W: The First 40 Years, is that it is not a coffee table book.
