History
In 1957, Arthur Frommer, a young corporal in the U.S. Army, wrote a travel guide for American GIs in Europe, and then produced a civilian version called Europe on $5 a Day. The book ranked popular landmarks and sights in order of importance and included suggestions on how to travel around Europe on a budget. It was the first travel guide to show Americans that they could afford to travel in Europe. It was a new concept for the time and has been credited with opening the door to modern tourism and travel guidebook publishing, particularly for budget travel.
Arthur Frommer returned to the United States and began practicing law. During that time, he continued to write and also began to self-publish guidebooks to additional destinations, including New York, Mexico, Hawaii, Japan and the Caribbean. In 1977, Frommer's trademark was sold to Simon & Schuster, Inc. After several subsequent sales the Frommer's series was purchased by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in 2001. Arthur's daughter, Pauline Frommer, is now writing her own series of travel guidebooks and continuing the Frommer's travel legacy.
