XXII,1064 S. Mit 30 kleinen Textillustr. // Author to Reader: [.]This is the year when history`s biggest T-bomb- "T" for "Tourist" -will scatter its golden fallout over 1,903,000 square miles of European landscape. It`s startling to realize that American trippers, numerous as we are, will constitute only a tiny pinch of powder i…n this mighty explosion. With the prosperity, bargain transportation, and the New Leisure this year, millions upon millions of continental vacationers will swap countries as tirelessly as some spouses in Hollywood swap wives. The boom is fantastic. Vast areas of wasteland have been reclaimed to lure the holiday-maker`s dollar or franc or pound. New hotels, restaurants, excursion targets, and other facilities are opening like popcorn on a hot griddle. Architects, contractors, painters, and plumbers are groggy from an epic dose of redecoration and modernization. From the Skagerrak to the Aegean to the Atlantic, Europe is twitching with a St.Vitus`s dance of compulsive mass movement. The Jet Age is no longer a promise. It is here. That`s why this 1960-61 edition of the Guide is such a very special one.// Contents: Author to Reader, Tips on Highspots, Let`s Get Ready, Let`s Go By Plane, Let`s Go By Ship, Let`s Be European, Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Eire (see Ireland and Nothern Ireland), England, France, Germany, Greece, Holland (see Netherlands), Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Scandinavian Airlines System, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, L`Envoi, Index /// Ecken bestossen.

Temple Hornaday Fielding (Condado de Bronx, 1913 - Palma de Mallorca, 1983) foi um notável escritor de viagens americano, neto do famoso naturalista William Temple Hornaday. Formou-se em Princeton em 1939, em 1941 entrou no exército estadunidense como artilheiro, sendo depois recrutado para os serviços de inteligência. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, foi agente de operações psicológicas na Europa sob o Escritório de Serviços Estratégicos (OSS), foi também capitão vinculado à unidade do Ramo de Operações de Moral (MO). Fielding foi dispensado do exército como major em 1945. Em 1951, ele e sua esposa se mudaram de Nova York para a Dinamarca, mas logo se estabeleceram em Formentor, Maiorca, Espanha, onde ele estabeleceu a sede da empresa Fielding Publications, Inc. Os Fieldings actualizavam constantemente as suas informações e passavam pelo menos cinco meses do ano viajando e visitando acomodações turísticas. Publicou os Fielding Travel Guides a partir de 1948, dos anos 1940 aos 1980 os Fielding Guides eram os guias de viagem mais utilizados para a Europa e as Caraíbas. O « Fielding?s Travel Guide to Europe», começou por ser um guia escrito para os recrutas que chegavam a Fort Bragg, na Carolina do Norte durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Do seu obituário do New York Times, de 19 de maio de 1983, Seção D, página 26: «Embora condecorado por muitos governos por sua contribuição à indústria do turismo, o Sr. Fielding, nascido no Bronx, tinha grande orgulho em ser considerado um conselheiro e companheiro do viajante americano comum que queria saber não apenas onde comer e dormir, mas também quais armadilhas para turistas e outras armadilhas devem ser evitadas.» 19.5x12.5 cm. xiii, [iii with ii in bl.], 749 pp. Publisher"s binding with canvas spine with gold engravings on the spine and front board.

Temple Hornaday Fielding (Bronx County, 1913 - Palma de Mallorca, 1983) was a noted American travel writer, grandson of the famous naturalist William Temple Hornaday. He graduated from Princeton in 1939 and in 1941 he joined the US Army as a gunner and was later recruited into the intelligence services. During the Second World War, he was a psychological operations agent in Europe under the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), and was also a captain attached to the Morale Operations Branch (MO) unit. Fielding was discharged from the army as a major in 1945. In 1951, he and his wife moved from New York to Denmark, but soon settled in Formentor, Mallorca, Spain, where he established the headquarters of the company Fielding Publications, Inc. The Fieldings constantly updated their information and spent at least five months of the year travelling and visiting tourist accommodation. He published the Fielding Travel Guides from 1948, from the 1940s to the 1980s the Fielding Guides were the most widely used travel guides for Europe and the Caribbean. The « Fielding?s Travel Guide to Europe», began as a guidebook written for recruits arriving at Fort Bragg in North Carolina during World War II. From his obituary in the New York Times of 19 May 1983, Section D, page 26: 'Although decorated by many governments for his contribution to the tourism industry, the Bronx-born Mr Fielding took great pride in being regarded as an adviser and companion to the average American traveller who wanted to know not only where to eat and sleep, but also which tourist traps and other pitfalls to avoid.'
