I recently discovered an awesome sub-Reddit called r/mapporn which features all kinds of really frickin’ cool maps such as “America 1681“, “Flipping European and North American Cities“, “World Map of Railways“, “Map of Facebook Connections” and I have to stop there or else I’ll just link to all their maps – each one is so cool!

Was this post timed to coincide with the release of Ken Jennings’ new book, Maphead? (It’s out today in the US – judging from Amazon.ca, Canada seems to be lagging behind by a few days).
No, but coincidentally I did see Ken Jennings was trolling on Reddit for ideas for his next book!
LOVE it! Glad to know that I’m not the only map geek out there. 😉
I’ve always loved maps since I got my first atlas in elementary school. It’s a sad thing for an English major librarian to admit but I probably liked that Atlas more than my first dictionary!
