I just bought this book and I'm already put off by the foreword author, who on the first page tells us, "Even at odd moments, say while clearing spam from the junk folders of my email accounts, it occurs to me that 'spam' is 'maps' backward, and how maps, the true opposite of spam, do not arrive unbidden, but only beckon." Wow, you're like the Zooey Deschanel of map-likers. I don't know what I expected from a popular book about maps that calls itself a "A Mind-Expanding Exploration," written by an author celebrated for his previous work on fonts.
But I do love maps, so. Okay.
