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. Ever wondered about the average jean colour across the United States? Or what ‘pedestrians’ look like in Denmark? What unites Brokenwind, Upton Snodsbury and Crackpot? And have you ever tried to take a train in Antarctica? Well Terrible Maps is the book for you! 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 countries that eat their national animals to nations that have declared war on birds (and lost), Terrible Maps celebrates pointless cartography in all its glory. Don’t leave home without it! Review: Funny - My geography obsessed preteen LOVES this one Review: Great gift - Purchased as a gift. Flipped through it first myself (of course) and chuckled. Actually more pages inside than I expected. Recipient was happy with it. He said he wanted to "savor" the pages.

Great gift
Purchased as a gift. Flipped through it first myself (of course) and chuckled. Actually more pages inside than I expected. Recipient was happy with it. He said he wanted to "savor" the pages.

So fun
Such a fun book. My son with autism is obsessed with maps and honestly it’s helped him start to understand jokes, humor, and sarcasm better. He LOVES this book.

Coffee table book. It’s the first one the grandkids grab when they visit.

It IS terrible.
Most of the book is fine, but there's a mistake: if you go to the page "restaurant preferences in Africa", the whole joke is that they dine for here, but Togo is the only one that eats to go. They highlighted Benin instead.

My social studies teacher liked it!
He said, "Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness, the book of maps is really cool!" I think that makes it 5 stars.

witty , absurd humour
I absolutely loved this book — it’s ridiculously funny and exactly my kind of humour. I bought the hardcover edition as a parting gift for my eldest son, who’s relocating overseas. Since we share the same warped sense of humour, I know he’ll have a good giggle over it. The maps are clever, sarcastic, and painfully accurate at times. Honestly, it felt like the perfect send-off gift… Highly recommend if you enjoy witty, absurd humour and don’t take the world too seriously.

Terrible maps and an even worse book
There’s a difference between stupidly funny and unfunny. This book is the latter. Barring a few genuinely witty maps, the rest of the book makes you wonder what’s so funny about this! Waste of money

Perełka dla tych, co lubią świat
Michael Howe od lat prowadzi w social mediach profile, na których konsekwentnie i w przewrotny sposób promuje wiedzę o świecie. Książka (ładnie wydana, niewielki format w twardej oprawie) stanowi zbiór co lepszych kartograficznych żartów jego autorstwa. Jeśli ktoś lubi absurdalny humor i kartografię (te rzeczy chyba łączą się częściej niż ktokolwiek by przypuszczał), to będzie to dobra lektura na popołudnie z kawą. Jeśli ktoś znał wcześniej profil, to zakup wydaje się najlepszą formą doceniania autora. Acha, jak widać na zdjęciu, uznałem, że będzie to również dobry pomysł na prezent 🙃
