Most of the deleted material came verbatim from the Rough Guides website. What's left, preserved here: Tearlach 22:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Most of these early titles were written or edited by John Fisher, Jack Holland  and Martin Dunford, who along with Mark Ellingham were co-founders and owners of Rough Guide series.

In 1995 the owners of Rough Guides negotiated the sale of the series to Penguin Books, part of Pearson PLC.

Real Guide
The Rough Guide series is/was also published under the name 'Real Guide'. I once heard that that was a (temporary) name-change for the US (because 'Rough Guide' sounded too 'rough'). I can't find any info on it, though. DirkvdM 07:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Online publishing addition
I was the director of the World Beat channel at HotWired in 1995-1996, when Ellingham began publishing the full text of his books on the web. There were several other Rough Guides books referenced in the SF Gate article, but it was almost 30 years ago and I don't recall which other titles actually made it online, or what became of them.
