<strong>'Educational, smart and funny' Richard Osman</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>'This book is superb' Charlie Brooker</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>'Brilliant. Fascinating. Hilarious.' Jonn Elledge, bestselling author of <em>A History of the World in 47 Borders</em></strong> <br/><br/> <strong>The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-round cartographical nerds, The Map Men!</strong> <br/><br/>Hello, we're the Map Men, and in the following pages we've selected what we believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, some are centuries old and some are so recent they're being published today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow). <br/><br/>They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you're an avid map junkie or simply 'map-curious', you will uncover a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour in each chapter, as we attempt to answer the question: 'What on earth happened here?' <br/><br/>So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey with us, the Map Men, into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. <br/><br/>Because the worst maps are the best maps.

A New York Times Bestseller! An Instant Indie Bestseller!<br/><br/>A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night.<br/><br/>Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous.<br/><br/>But now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time--something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. They aren't the only ones looking for her though. As they brush against the supernatural they realize that the story they've been told about their past is unraveling and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago, might just be calling them home.
