    This is fun

    I enjoyed this very much. Nice photos. Interesting to see what's on the mind of some of my favorite celebrities and some I wasn't so familiar with. I would have liked to have seen more women included--only four out of the 64 interviews. The purchase did also include a year subscription to Esquire magazine!
