Strange Maps by Frank Jacobs


The caveat “not for navigation” fits, because you can easily get lost in this book, made up of 100-plus antique, literary, fantastic, misconceived, or data-based maps from the 17th to the 21st century. They’re gathered here in a blend of art, history, pop culture, and politics. Jacobs’s accompanying text brings humor, gravitas, and social commentary to an eclectic collection. The Island of California, or the World in a Cloverleaf…I can’t pick a favorite, yet.
