Publisher's Synopsis

The first in a series of highly illustrated books that take a nostalgic look at life in 20th-century Britain through amateur photographs, ephemera, and postcards, On Holiday visually explores where people stayed, what they wore, where they went, how they got there, and what they did. Using predominantly amateur photographs from family albums alongside postcards, publicity material, and a range of ephemera from the Edwardian era to the 1970s, this feast of nostalgia offers a delightfully evocative snapshot of holiday life in 20th-century Britain.

About the Publisher

AA Publishing

The AA was founded in 1905 as a body initially intended to help motorists avoid police speed traps. As motoring became more popular, so did we, and our activities have continued to expand into a great variety of areas. In 1910 we published the very first AA routes with handwritten details, and by 1929 we were issuing an impressive 239,000 routes a year. Since the 1990's we have dramatically expanded our publishing activities producing top notch atlases, maps and travel guides for the UK and the rest of the world. We've also produced many excellent walking, cycle, leisure and best selling lifestyle guides, driving books, kits and car accessories. No wonder AA Publishing is the UK's biggest travel publisher and one of the top ten worldwide.
