Bon Appétit and Gourmet to Appear on Newsstands as "Special-Interest Publications"

Print's alive! Condé Nast is planning on releasing six special-interest publications in the second half of the year reports Mediaweek, including some of their bigger brands including Vogue, GQ, The New Yorker, and their two food titles, Bon Appétit and Gourmet. The "SIPs" will be sold exclusively in stores and on newsstands, with cover prices ranging from $9.99 to $12.99.

"The special editions will build on the popularity of Condé Nast's award-winning magazines, but will focus on more narrow topics or features, such as Glamour "Dos & Don'ts," packaged in a creative and attractive way," said the press release.

We'd bet money for Gourmet and Bon Appétit it means two things: 1. Thanksgiving, and 2. Recycling tons of recipes from their archives.

This follows last week's news that Gourmet is being reborn as Gourmet Live in the fall of 2010.
