Map Monday  – where maps get it wrong

If you didn’t know already I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE maps! And where they are in a collection like this one even more so!

This Way Up The Map Men

“We’ve selected what we believe to be some of the very best wrong maps.”

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.

This is an adventure book of sorts with every map telling its own story as well as taking you on a story of your own. It’s clever, witty and really interesting! “Because the worst maps are the best maps.” haha that had me chuckling!

Have you watched their You Tube channel? The one about the North/South divide is hilarious!
