The articles Fielden commissioned—a number of them from New Yorker writers such as John Seabrook, Nick Paumgarten and Michael Specter—suggest a robust appetite for a literate, adventuresome life. There is a profile of the painter Walton Ford, who each summer takes a 250-mile walk from his New England front porch to his printer's; a feature called "Life Studies" that opens with a photographic portrait of John Currin in his studio; an article and fashion spreads about the English obsession with weekend shooting parties; a look at Roger Federer and the contents of his tennis bag; and a feature on the New York town house that the architect David Chipperfield designed for Nathaniel Rothschild. There are front-of-the-book pieces on wine, cell phones equipped with GPS tracking systems and a quirky piece by Jeffrey Steingarten about his favorite meat slicer.
