- The Rough Guides travel titles cover more than 200 destinations that began with the 1982 Rough Guide to Greece, a book conceived by Mark Ellingham and aimed at low-budget backpackers written in its trademark ‘tell it like it is’ ethos. From here the company went from strength to strength with Mark Ellingham and co-founder Martin Dunford and Andrew Lockett under the aegis of Penguin before their merger with Random House. Penguin became responsible for sales and distribution in 1992, acquiring a majority stake in 1996 and buying Rough Guides outright in 2002. The brand was then acquired by René Frey under Apa Publications in November 2017. (English, Unclassified)
