Hints for Holidays was first published by the London & South Western Railway in 1914, the guide having been published from 1899 as The Company's Official Illustrated Guide and List of Hotels, Boarding Houses and Apartments. The British Railways 1949 edition, though having a new cover illustration, had virtually identical content to the 1947 edition.
