A SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER

A Waterstones Best Nature & Travel Writing Book 2025

'Educational, smart and funny’ Richard Osman

‘This book is superb’ Charlie Brooker

‘Brilliant. Fascinating. Hilarious.’ Jonn Elledge, bestselling author of A History of the World in 47 Borders

The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-round cartographical 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, 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 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.

I loved this so much. I nearly didn't buy it as I couldn't see how a book about maps would work on Audible. But they supply a pdf and it really does. Laugh out loud funny in places. Brilliant.

Makes a surprisingly good audio book

Going into this I had absolutely no interest in maps but thought I'd give it a listen based on the recent Lateral Podcast, Episode 158 (which I'd also highly recommend).

I had no idea what to expect going in but, as of writing, I'm now at chapter 10 and can confidently say this is one of the funniest and most charming audio books I've ever experienced.

I love the structure to each section, the footnotes, and the little explanations of the process throughout. The accompanying PDF with all the referenced maps is also a great addition.

Cannot recommend this audio book enough, absolutely fantastic. This will definitely be one to listen to multiple times.

Delightfully witty

Funny and interesting. Also despite maps being visual objects, they've made this book work in audiobook format - you just need to open the attached pdf every other chapter
