  • Comment Who's the actual author? If it's by Mungo Park himself, that ups the EV a lot more than if it's a simple text that includes him (and may not be illustrating him on the cover). Bit on the small side, but, given it seems to capture the detail well, I can overlook that. Frankly, I think it'd have far higher encyclopedic value (EV) if we had any information about the book: At the moment, the claim to EV is that it mentions Mungo Park in the text on the cover - not a very high claim, when we don't know much about the significance of the book.
