I was fascinated by the Cave of Swimmers in Gilf Kebir, discovered by the Hungarian Count Laszlo Almasy, so I want to learn about this cave art and also about the Count. Through Goodreads, I managed to find a book about the Count:
The Secret Life of Laszlo Almasy: The Real English Patient by John Bierman, however, I've only found one book, by Miroslav Barta, about the Cave of Swimmers, see below.
I've learned that there's a chapter dedicated to the Cave of Swimmers in a book titled The Unknown Sahara by Count Laszlo Almasy. This book was published in Hungarian in 1935, but an English translation on CD is available through: Laszlo Almasy's writings in English.
This is a recent book about the Cave of Swimmers:
