I bought it yesterday. Worth getting. I'm on page 250 now and about to start reading 'The Ten Graces', an article about British dukes - the story opens with a photograph of ten current dukes together, 'representing more than 40 per cent of Britain's dukes'.
Most of the contents of this 380-page issue focuses on the past twenty or thirty years, and the reminiscences written by staff and other contributors make hilarious reading. And because this is Tatler, royalty is mentioned (or pictured) on most pages - excluding pages with ads, obviously (the first story doesn't appear until page 65).

Click on Contents. There's more, though; I thought these were good:
Tatler's 300-year history (though the number of years when Tatler was not published is far higher than the number it years it was)
300 leaders of the pack (a sort of giant Little Black Book)
The arrival of Diana - a turning-point for Tatler
Lady Annabel Goldsmith
The Guinness dynasty
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London
Tatler anniversary covers designed by London's top advertising agencies
Tatler's editors: Tina Brown and after
"My Tatler moment" (by the staff)
More to come: PD James and Ruth Rendell, Bystander (with a full facsimile page of Winston Churchill's wedding covered by Tatler in 1908) and the Travel section...
