Frommer's Travel Guide

A Nice Fit: Your Own Pocket Travel Guide

(NAPSI)-The travel experts at Frommer's have launched a new series of portable guidebooks so detailed they are like being guided by locals.

The Frommer's "Day by Day" guides (Wiley, $12.99) provide detailed itineraries that show travelers how to see the best of a city in the smartest, most time-efficient way.

The first five "Day by Day" guides, available in bookstores now, are London, Paris, Rome, New York City and San Francisco, with Amsterdam and Venice coming soon. Each has been written by a local expert with intimate knowledge of his or her city.

Among the key elements that distinguish this exciting new series are hundreds of color photographs that jump off the pages of these pocket-sized guides, a tear-resistant map that folds into a resealable plastic wallet for safekeeping, and for travelers with limited time, "Best of" tours that show how to see each city in one, two or three days.

Frommer's "Day by Day" guides offer a brand-new way to see a city. Go to www.frommers.com for more information
