As Richard Branson launched his newfangled iPad monthly magazine Project, Jeffrey W. Meshel played it old school with a celebration for his paper and binding book on success.

Richard Branson launched  Project, his iPad magazine yesterday and threw a bash at the Royalton to celebrate. He's not worried about Rupert Murdoch's rival iPad pub The Daily. He's used to competition. Promo girls in red dresses walked around with iPads as large screens flashed versions of the first edition with Jeff Bridges on the cover. Branson ducked out of the party early to fly to Dallas, more than likely on his own luxurious private jet.
