´óÏó´«Ã½ Magazines Bristol has today announced that its successful international title ´óÏó´«Ã½ Knowledge Magazine will be made available in the UK from issue 14, on sale 13 October 2010.

Aimed at 'the curious mind', the 100-page perfect bound glossy will draw on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Magazines' existing portfolio of quality specialist factual titles including the award-winning popular science title Focus, ´óÏó´«Ã½ History Magazine and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Wildlife Magazine.

Published six times a year, the magazine will be available by subscription priced at £19.99 per year. In addition, a limited number of newsstand copies will be available at selected WHSmith stores costing £3.99 per issue.

The title will be marketed via a comprehensive subscription acquisitions campaign across the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Magazines portfolio.

Andrew Davies, Publisher of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Knowledge Magazine, said: "´óÏó´«Ã½ Knowledge Magazine is the ultimate magazine for those who are curious about the world around them – and beyond. The magazine's primary commercial aim is to build a solid core of subscribers, offering readers the very best selected highlights from ´óÏó´«Ã½ Magazines' specialist titles. Already an established success in the US, Knowledge is an innovative publishing model that I'm very excited about bringing to the UK."

´óÏó´«Ã½ Knowledge Magazine launched in the US and Canada in August 2008 and is now also published in four other territories - Brazil, Singapore, Bulgaria and Malaysia. The title will also be published in India from November 2010 by Worldwide Media, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Magazines' joint venture with the Times of India.

The UK edition of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Knowledge Magazine will be edited by Paul McGuinness, who is also the editor of the US edition. The first issue available in the UK will include features on what makes a genius, real-life castaways and the world's only singing rhino.
