"Map Men" -- cover

"The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-around cartographic nerds, The Map Men! Hello, we're The Map Men, and in the following pages we've selected what we believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, and some are so recent they're being published today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow). They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you're an avid map junkie or simply 'map curious,' you will uncover a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humor in each chapter, as we attempt to answer the question: 'What on earth happened here?' So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey with us, The Map Men, into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. Because the worst maps are the best maps" --
