HOBOKEN, New Jersey (AP) ― Google is buying the Frommer’s brand of travel guides.

Google Inc., which bought the Zagat restaurant review service in September, plans to use Frommer’s guides to hotels and destinations around the world to complement the Zagat listings.

Google is buying Frommer’s from publisher John Wiley & Sons Inc. in a deal that includes John Wiley’s other travel-related businesses. Financial terms were not disclosed in Monday’s announcement.

Frommer’s got its start in 1957 with the publication of Arthur Frommer’s “Europe on $5 a Day.” Frommer’s now publishes more than 300 guidebooks and runs the Frommers.com website.
