Yesterday the editorial team put the finishing touches on the July issue of Global Traveler, and art director Tracey Cullen sent the files off to the publishing house. This past month was extra busy, as we also prepared the annual Global City Guidebook to be published and polybagged with the July magazine. For those of you new to GT, the GCGB is chock-full of one-page guides to major cities throughout the world and across the United States, providing the traveler with a convenient overview of each city, its major attractions, hotels and restaurants. The Guidebook is just one of several supplements which we publish each year. Additionally, our regular subscribers look forward to Class Act, an annual survey of premium-class cabins of international airlines. It provides the most comprehensive, detailed summary of information on first- and business-class cabins available, and our readers always tell us how much they look forward to it and reading the other articles it contains on other services, from spas to lounges to airport rail links, a busy traveler may use. I always look forward to our Luxury/Indulgence supplement. It’s fun to read about the latest in the finest dining, accomodations, extra-special services and truly extravagant “toys” out there. Though on first look I don’t think I personally might ever experience most of  them, I’ve found that a few of those “indulgences” are actually within my reach and well worth the splurge! In addition to those annual “books,” each year we offer separate supplements on individual destinations around the world. These present a focused look at countries or regions of particular interest to travelers. Within the past twelve months we’ve delved into Spain, the Pacific Rim and Ireland. Every one provides great information and plenty of incentive to go out and book a trip to that enticing location. We on the editorial side always breathe a sigh of relief when we’ve finished up a month where we’ve basically produced two magazines in 30 days. The added work and rushed deadlines are always worth it, though. Our subscribers tell us time and again how interesting and helpful these products are to them, and everyone at Global Traveler is proud and pleased to provide such great value to our readers. — Patty Vanikiotis, associate editor/copy editor
