Successful travel guide plagiarised Beginning in the 1930s, international publishers such as Murray and Baedeker gained popularity in the Western market with their "quick traveller's guides." Baedekers became so popular that Alberto Martinez illegally copied their model. His voluminous Baedeker of the Republic of Argentina for tourists and business travellers includes photographs, statistical tables, and 11 maps. The guidebook begins and ends with advertisements for banks, hotels, theatres, and breeding bulls.
