The Guardian and Observer Guides
A series of award-winning stand-alone A5 supplements.

Supplement of the Year
British Press Awards 2007
Retainable and informative guides
The Guides To are distributed with the Guardian on Saturday and The Observer on Sunday.  They are produced in a retainable and convenient A5 format and give readers full details of everything they need to know about each specific topic. Previous guides have included:

- Grow Your Own
- Playing the Guitar
- Camping
- Walking
- Massage and Relaxation
The Guides are created in the unique Guardian and Observer style and tone. They are educative and informative, giving essential information to readers who have either recently taken up an activity or are thinking of taking it up.

The Guides are designed to be kept as a source of inspiration and expertise, referred to again and again, maximising advertiser impact.
Reaching an upmarket, engaged audience
The Guardian on Saturday and The Observer on Sunday reach over 2 million UK adults a week. The Guardian/Observer audience is upmarket and stylish with an interest in a broad range of topics.

Guardian and Observer readers are an inquisitive bunch who enjoy learning and trying out new things. 87% are ABC1 and 61% are AB, with a high disposable income, making them an ideal target for your advertising messages.
