Mark Elliott (British Author)
Mark Elliott is an English travel writer best known for books on Azerbaijan, and for unusual map-based route guides for Asia. Though long out of print, Elliott's ''Asia Overland'' co-authored with Wil Klass, garnered something of a cult following among overland travellers during the late 1990s.
