I remember Baedeker from the E.M. Forster novel A Room With a View, and the movie made from it back in 1985 with Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Helena Bonham Carter, and Daniel Day Lewis. Particularly, I remember Judi Dench as this intrepid old lady who's exploring Italy, dragging the much less intrepid Maggie Smith with her. They end up lost in Florence. Smith pulls out her Baedeker, and Dench snatches it away and pronounces, "You shall NOT use your Baedeker. We will simply drift." And goes sailing forth as the other follows fearfully behind her. It's a great movie.
