Roughly Reading
3 in One CD
Rough Guides may be one of the strongest names in publishing, but it is also a misleading one. It worked well when the travel guides were designed mostly for student travellers. Next spring, the publisher - now owned by Penguin - is to drop the name for the first time, on a series to be called "Directions". The books will be aimed at those planning weekend breaks in locations including Athens, Lisbon, Venice and San Francisco. For those who would rather take a laptop than a paperback on holiday, the books come with CDs containing the contents in three ebook formats, Adobe, Microsoft Reader and Palm.
