Jo and Abigail sounds like a match made in heaven to me!
Let's be realistic here though...the most David is going to be able to post would be a clothed shot of the pair, because if you want to see them with their kit off, you have to buy the mag...that's the whole idea! If we're all honest, I think most people know what Jo and Abi look like as well, clothed or unclothed. So they can make an informed decision from that and the cover shot IMHO.
Thus, posting preview pics would be a little redundant, I think. Maybe some details as to the shoot would be nice (what the girls are wearing, where it is shot/scenario, who shot it etc.), but as was pointed out, David likes to keep his periodic updates short and sweet and let the finished product do the talking.
Also, let's remember...he's just trying to do his job and sell more copies of his magazines. It's nice to see a pro-active approach....I can't think of very many other UK mag editors who take time out to clue in BGAFD on upcoming shoots and stuff, and he does it very sparingly too...I'd say Jo Guest and Abi Toyne together is a fairly major news, so it's only right and proper that you let people know about it. I'm sure he'd love to be able to post preview pictures for us all to enjoy, but as he stated, it is against company policy, and seeing as he doesn't run the company, jumping on his back about it seems rather counter-productive to me. After all, if he hadn't posted, and people missed the issue, they'd probably be complaining about that just as vociferously as they are about the lack of pics.
Why all the negativity, people?
