I have here for sale a book entitled GUIDE MICHELIN BELGIQUE, 15th edition published in 1926 by Michelin et Cie, Clermont-Ferrant, France.  Published as part of a series of guides and written in French.  There are colour maps, 2-colour plans of towns and cities, itineraries for motoring and b/w adverts interspersed throughout.  Part I covers Michelin Tyres and how to buy and maintain them, Part II covers route guides to all parts of Belgium and Part III covers Useful Information like taxes, customs with Luxembourg, and other administrative rules.  At the back there are 4 double page colour maps of the area covered in this guide.  Colour adverts in this section.  

In 1900, there were fewer than 3,000 cars on the roads of France. To increase the demand for cars and, accordingly, car tyres, car tyre manufacturers and brothers Édouard and André Michelin published a guide for French motorists, the Michelin Guide.  Nearly 35,000 copies of this first, free edition of the guide were distributed. It provided information to motorists, such as maps, tyre repair and replacement instructions, car mechanics listings, hotels, and petrol stations throughout France.  In 1904, the brothers published a guide for Belgium similar to the Michelin Guide.  Michelin subsequently introduced guides for Algeria and Tunisia (1907); the Alps and the Rhine (northern Italy, Switzerland, Bavaria, and the Netherlands) (1908); Germany, Spain, and Portugal (1910); the British Isles (1911); and "The Countries of the Sun" (Les Pays du Soleil) (Northern Africa, Southern Italy and Corsica) (1911). In 1909, an English-language version of the guide to France was published and so the series grew.
