The joys of the world, one terrible map at a time this is the ultimate gift book for the budding geographer or anyone who wants to have a laugh.

Put together by the creator behind the tremendously popular social media feed, this is the ultimate humour book for the budding geographer in your life. From the longest fence on earth (the Dingo Fence in Australia), to the different names for football around the world, Terrible Maps follows in the footsteps of the likes of bestsellers Crap Towns, Crap CVs and Crap Taxidermy, in celebrating pointless cartography in all its glory. Dont leave home without it!
