- Synopsis
- In March 2008, graphic designer Kris Harzinski launched his website the Hand Drawn Map Association (www. handmaps. org), asking users to submit their own, hand drawn maps. From Here to There publishes the author's diverse collection, sharing the stories of people around the world who contributed to this endeavor. Maps range from simple directions, to fictional maps, to maps of unusual places, to explanatory maps, and are accompanied by extended captions detailing why each map was made. Some of the maps included in the book are: A map to a high-school locker A found map with direction to a "PARTY!" A map of a hike through the Bulgarian mountains that caused the hikers to get lost in the woods A map to an imaginary country for ants A map of a traffic island Among the illustrations in the book are maps by Abraham Lincoln, Antarctica explorer Ernest Shackleton, Alexander Calder (tbc), and graphic designers Stephan Sagmeister and Bruce Mau.
