📕📕📕Publication day! 📖📖📖
Look out for the orange and blue thing about maps in the BOOKSHOP!
Huge thanks to everyone who helped @jayforeman and I put the book together, and to everyone who's bought it.
We are VERY excited for you to read it.

You know you're having a good holiday when you're reading This Way Up *and* staying hydrated
Latest Map Men - a tale of many miles. A particularly fun (and hard) one to make, with the huge help of @Ornsack. @jayforeman also played a part.

Our first Non-Fiction Book of the Month is This Way Up by The Map Men! It's time to ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey into a world of cartographic chaos & mappy mishaps. A unique tale of adventure, error & unexpected humour throughout!
Ooooh
The latest series of Taskmaster Club (Plinth) is out now and available here - taskmastereducation.com/club….
It features a fresh batch of tasks including one set by the brilliant Map Men (@jayforeman and @markcooperjones).

New Map Men - The World's Most Annoying Road. But why is it annoying? Watch it to find out why it's annoying.

On the evidence here, I don't think @jayforeman and I will be threatening the esports community. Chaos.

18 months later, @jayforeman and I are soon to upload the sequel to this youtube.com/watch?v=zDsqJTD5… - it'll be with you today before sunset (at an unspecified longitude)
For those who literally prefer a lighter read, the Map Men book is available in paperback in June, BUT if you preorder it from @Waterstones NOW you'll get 25% off!
How very good of them.

Not going to pretend I didn't love this. Full of maps; bus ones. It's just out so grab a copy if maps or busses are your bag - John really knows his stuff and the detail in the story is impressive
Even though I was fortunate enough to get a free copy from @HarperCollinsUK, I'm *still* tempted by this incredible deal. Panic buy your copy of This Way Up now!

From Jersey in the South to Inverness in the North; This Way Up from Map Men @jayforeman and @markcooperjones is a HIT! So why not celebrate with a full choir opining its virtues as a Christmas gift for the one you love? Find it here, there and everywhere: waterstones.com/book/this-wa…
Why doesn't England have an East / West divide?
Or doesn't it not?
Or does it?
Let's find out.
