What is a FODOR?
 
Does anyone know? Does it stand for something? Is it a person, like Bob Fodor or Ted Fodor? Is it just a made up thing, like Ann Taylor? Does it mean something in a foreign language? What the heck is it?<BR><BR>

Eugene Fodor published his first two travel guides, On the Continent in 1936 and Europe in 1937, while working with London's Fodor's Publishing Company. The guides were an instant success in England and became bestsellers when published for the American market in 1938.<BR><BR>Following World War II, Fodor resumed publishing guidebooks for the transatlantic tourist market. In 1950, New York's David McKay Company published Fodor's France in 1951 and created Fodor's Modern Guides, a guidebook series devoted to individual European countries.<BR><BR>Eugene Fodor continued to work in Paris until 1964, when he returned to the U.S. to compile guidebooks covering the United States. Random House, Inc., acquired Fodor's in 1986. Eugene Fodor died on February 18, 1991<BR>
