Cleaned up

edit

I did a bit of cleaning and rearranging, hopefully it looks good to everybody else. The "today" heading was removed because I didn't think the section was big enough or needed to stand on its own. I wish there were more references/resources than the publishing sites themselves, but I couldn't find much on the internet. Anyway, I removed the cleanup tag because things seem decent enough now. :) Foofy 10:10, 28 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

PS: Fodors LLC is not a typo, it has no apostrophe for some reason, not sure why. Foofy 10:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

The Fodor's article raises issues. What are the criteria behind the comment "first relatively professional producer"? John Murray's Red Guides, Karl Baedeker's Guides and Hachette's Guides Bleu were highly professional from their first appearances in the nineteenth century. The comment about Rome and Italians, out of context, tells us nothing about local people and culture but looks xenophobic. I think the claim about being the largest publisher of travel information is contentious: broadcast and online providers could claim to be much bigger.
