5 of 5 people found the following review helpful By Kevin McCloskey on October 30, 2010

From Here to There is the first book from the The Hand Drawn Map Association. Philadelphia-based artist Kris Harsinski has been collecting hand drawn maps for years. He finds maps dropped in laundromats. He sets up a table at indy lit events like the Philadelphia Zine fest and begs strangers to draw maps. Of course, he put out an open call on the internet. He has accumulated hundreds of maps; the variety is quite astounding. In 2008 he founded the Hand Drawn Map Association, or HDMA.

Maps vary, but most have a very specific purpose, and it is not always a matter of getting from point A to point B. Take the map of the best places to skateboard in Dallas, Pennsylvania. I found it charming, even though I am not likely to use that information. Cartoonist Dash Shaw's map of Boney Borough, loosely based on the original plans for Epcot, serves as reader's guide to his Body World comics. Another remarkable entry was by Marilyn Murphy, a young lady suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, who drew a body map of her medical injections.

There are maps by Stefan Sagmeister, Daniel McCloskey and Shakes. Full disclosure, I know some of these guys. I got to know Stefan Sagmeister just a bit when I drove him home to Manhattan during a blizzard after his talk at Kutztown, PA. Shakes,I've met him, too. He is a well-known zinester and busker in Pittsburgh's Strip district. Daniel McCloskey is my son, the founder of Pittsburgh's legendary Cyberpunk Apocalypse Writer's Cooperative. Shakes and Daniel contributed a map of Post-Apocalyptic Pittsburgh.

If you do draw maps, the HDMA is still looking for quirky work. From Here to There begins with this note: We would love to add your work to the collection. Please consider submitting your maps or diagrams to us at: handmaps.org

I love the idea of this book, but the maps are way too small. I read the reviews before I bought it saying they were too small but bought it anyway to see for myself. One reviewer said to look at the maps online instead but not sure how he is doing that. Glad to have the book for my collection but I would have enjoyed it so much more if I could actually read what some of the maps are saying.

Ordered this book for my daughter. She loved. This was an interesting, odd, and like the title says, curious, book. Fun to read and visually fun.

A great book that showcases all the unique ways that maps can be displayed. Some of the maps are true works of art. A fun read.
