Almost choked on a comma.
Throughly enjoyed the book launch of @markcooperjones.bsky.social and @jayforeman.bsky.social's book This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong (and Why it Matters).
How many book events can you say made the authors eat their own work?

By popular demand, here is my debut map, made with blood, sweat and tears, when I should have been looking for my missing father, apparently. From the latest Map Men episode - about Twin Towns...
By all means have a play but feel free not to point out the mistakes.
