Strange Maps by Frank Jacobs

Spanning many centuries, all continents and the realms of outer space and the imagination, this collection of 138 unique graphics combines beautiful full-colour illustrations with quirky statistics and smart social commentary. The result is a distinctive illustrated guide to the world. Brimming with trivia, deadpan humour and idiosyncratic lore, Strange Maps is a fascinating tour of all things weird and wonderful in the world of cartography.

Frank Jacobs enjoys maps, but most atlases are too predictable for him. He collects and discusses a wide range of cartographic oddities. He is a journalist and writer who runs the Odd Maps blog. He is based in London.
