Offered as a free gift to customers, the indispensable red book provided motorists with town plans, road maps, addresses of garages and post offices. When the guide became a paying publication in 1920, Michelin concentrated on gastronomic references, notably with the creation in 1922 of the "Hôtel et Restaurants Recommandés" section, followed in 1931 by the famous star rating.
