OK, sure. Vince will manage with David reviewing. Cover looks good, I'll
add it to the DB.

Hello Vince.

I have a question regarding the illustration used in this book. There's a map that is used twice in the book in page 80 (Internet Archive) and page 186 (Internet Archive) and I'm not sure how to handle this particular case when using selectors and the List of Illustrations.

I think this could be a case where something similar to the SE 8.2.9.3 rule could apply, preparing the code for identical illustration-1 and illustration-2 images and img-alt descriptions, and adding the map to the LoI with accompanying text along the lines of "A handdrawn map that shows a point of interest near a creak" and perhaps omitting its second appearance in the LoI.

Should I go through with this idea, or is there a better way to solve this particular issue that's more in line with SE standards?

[Alex Cabal]

Yes, use the same image and just link it once in the LoI. No sense in
linking an identical image twice. If lint complains add an ignore entry.
