Waterstones Liverpool Presents An Evening With The Map Men!

We are delighted to welcome the online sensations Jay Foreman and Mark Cooper-Jones – better known as The Map Men – whose irreverent and hilarious videos have charmed and captivated millions around the world. Now they bring you their debut book This Way Up - When Maps Go Wrong (And Why It Matters) all about the world’s worst maps.
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’, each chapter uncovers a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour – as they attempt to answer the question: ‘What on earth happened here?’

So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. Because the worst maps are the best maps.

Join us to hear The Map Men discuss This Way Up which takes a hilarious look at cartography's biggest blunders.
Their conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing.
