A ROUGH GUIDE TO ROUGH GUIDES
Published in 1982, the first Rough Guide to Greece was a student scheme that becamea publishing phenomenon. Mark Ellingham, a recent graduate in English from BristolUniversity, had been travelling in Greece the previous summer and couldnt find the rightguidebook. With a small group of friends he wrote his own guide, combining a highlycontemporary, journalistic style with a thoroughly practical approach to travellers needs.
