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 still being published today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow).

They include colonial maps, collaborative 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. We travel from the (nameless) streets of Kolkata to London King's Cross (using a map of Paris), all in the name of cartographic chaos. Whether you're an avid map junkie or simply 'map-curious', each chapter uncovers a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour - as we attempt to answer the question: 'What on earth happened here?'

So ditch the compass (or open settings and tap 'disable location services') and set out on a journey with us, the Map Men, into a world of cartographic blunders and mappy mishaps.

Because the worst maps are the best maps.
