U.S. Edition
Published by Dennis Publishing, it was the sister magazine to Maxim, and the two share a similar mission of providing entertainment targeted towards 18 to 30-year-old males whom it attracts with pictorials and cover features, humor, trivia, and product reviews of goods such as computers, sports cars, video games, cell phones, etc. The American version of Stuff was launched by Andy Clerkson, the founding editor of the UK edition. US Stuff differed from its technology-centric British cousin as it sought a wider, lifestyle audience. The interviews tended to be with famous actresses, singers, models and wrestling divas, some of whom have appeared several times over the life of the magazine.
In October 2006 Will Ferrell became the first man to appear on the cover of Stuff magazine, alongside his Talladega Nights co-star Leslie Bibb. The final issue featured Laura Vandervoort and was published October 2007. The U.S. edition ceased to exist and returned to being a special section inside Maxim. Paid subscribers received Maxim as a replacement

Famous quotes containing the word edition:
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
