Thank you for this excellent link to those downloadable books.
By the way, that map was created last year and the American Library Association [ALA] promoted it as its own, essentially plagiarizing it. Any publicity the ALA gave to the map never mentioned is was written by someone unconnected to the ALA and by someone with no particular knowledge or expertise. Your statements about the map’s origin align with my own observations. I consider what you have said here smoking gun evidence of the ALA’s plagiarizing the map. Even if Chris wanted the ALA to use/promote his map, the ALA still should have revealed the true authorship of the map.
