Mark Elliott is an English travel writer best known for books on Azerbaijan,[1][2][3][4][5] and for unusual map-based route guides for Asia.
Though long out of print, Elliott's Asia Overland[6] co-authored with Wil Klass, garnered something of a cult following among overland travellers during the late 1990s.[7][8] Elliott's 2003 South-East Asia: The Graphic Guide, also based mostly on schematic maps, remains in considerable demand among travellers with prices for second hand copies reaching absurdly high levels (nearly US$1000 a copy in November 2009).[9][10][11] He also contributed to over 50 Lonely Planet guides.[12] Having written the first comprehensive English language guide to post-Soviet Azerbaijan in 1999, a book now in its 5th edition, Elliott has since been described by the press in Azerbaijan as the "legendary writer of the definitive English-language guidebook to the country"[13]
