A salve for the soul, the Slow Guide is a handbook for anybody looking for a sea change without shifting postcodes. It celebrates Sydney and all that's unique, local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in this corner of the world.
Rise up - in your own time, of course - against the culture of speed and global uniformity. Take a creative course, holiday at home, meet local artisans, muck in with the community, explore a new cove, breathe deeply, buy greens from a farmer and, for goodness sake, do slow down and smell the rose.
Meant as an antidote to the popular media's obsession with new and trendy, it celebrates Sydney and the people who live there. Witty and irreverent, upbeat and enthusiastic, beautiful and inspirational, the Slow Guides are set to take the publishing world by storm - or at least a gentle breeze.
