Hello!

Numerous searches at both the Conde Nast main page and individual
publication pages revealed no listings for this query.

A telephone inquiry to Conde Nast Corporate Headquarters in New York
City revealed that each individual publication is responsible for its
own "Reader Service" (sometimes called "Shopping" or "Classifieds")
sections.  I was then connected to the Reader Inquiries person at
Vogue, who informed me that not all Conde Nast publications offered
such sections, and further stated that Conde Nast policy forbids
giving the name of the person in charge of any given section out over
the phone, for privacy and safety reasons.

Conde Nast publishes the following magazines:  Vogue, Architectural
Digest, Glamour, Bride's, Self, GQ, Vanity Fair, Gourmet, Bon Appetit,
Conde Nast Traveller, Allure, House and Garden, Wired, The New Yorker,
and Lucky.

If you're interested in marketing your product or service through any
of these publications, it is recommended that you contact the magazine
of your choice directly.  If you're unsure of which to contact or want
to advertise in more than one of Conde Nast's publications, you should
send a detailed written inquiry to:

Corporate Communications
The Condé Nast Publications
4 Times Square
New York, NY 10036

That office may be reached by telephone, but it appears to only serve
as a general switchboard to each individual publication - no other
information will be given over the phone:  212-286-2860

I hope this helps point you in the right direction!  Best of luck!

I agree on thepossible  need to contact each magazine individually. Of
a sampling of the magazines published by Nast including Wired, The New
Yorker, Vanity Fair and House & Garden, only House & Garden had a
reader service listing.

The address for that service was different from the corporate listing
in the front of the magazines. The holder of any post office box used
to conduct business with the public is a matter of public record. The
postmaster at that post office is required by law to disclose that
information when requested. It's worth noting that post office
employees not involved in management may not be familar with the law.

The address shown was:

House & Garden
P.O.Box 5215
Pittsfield, MA 01203-5215

If the boxholder is not House & Garden or Conde Nast, it may be a
company contracted to provide the service. A call to that company with
a little ingenuity may get you a contact name.
