Covering everything from Ordnance Survey, to Google Maps, to the London Tube map, to maps of places that never even existed, Simon Garfield’s On the Map: Why the World Looks the Way It Does tells the stories of where we've been, how we got there and where we're going.

With a historical sweep ranging from Ptolemy to Twitter, and packed with illustrations, Simon Garfield (bestselling author of Just My Type) explores the legendary - and non-existent - mountains of Kong, the role of cartography in combatting cholera, the 17th-century Dutch craze for Atlases, how a Venetian monk mapped the world from his cell and why the London A-Z first came into being.

Profile Books is offering you the chance to win one of three map goody bags, including a signed copy of On the Map plus a scratch-off map and stitch-a-map postcard courtesy of The Letteroom. Three runners-up will each win a copy of the book.
