This way up : when maps go wrong (and why it matters)
Cooper-Jones, Mark2026
Books
The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-round cartographical nerds, The Map Men. In this book, they have selected what they believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, some are centuries 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 humour in each chapter, as they attempt to answer what happened?! So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey with them - into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. Because the worst maps are the best maps.
