right now: Strange Maps by Frank Jacobs.
If you're a map lover then you'll appreciate this recently published and lavishly illustrated (full color) book. But beware, this is no conventional atlas. This description describes it best: "Brimming with trivia, deadpan humor, and idiosyncratic lore, Strange Maps is a fascinating tour of all things weird and wonderful in the world of cartography."
The author also writes a related blog. Check it out, especially if you love maps.
Thanks, RT, for the perfect gift!
