Maps + Books

If you haven't already heard, here's a final plug for the collaboration between the Hand Drawn Map Association and linenlaid&felt. You've got until the end of the month to submit a hand-drawn map, which will get you entered to win one of Katie's map-related books. Submissions details here.

The books to be given out to the five randomly selected mapmakers are shown above. You can read more about those over at Katie's site too.

"You're famous!" - Katie

At long last, one of my maps made it to the Hand Drawn Map Association. Take a look.

The HDMA is available for RSS feeds and maintains a calm Twitter and nice Facebook page. They (Kris H.) also pay for maps, which I'd forgotten before receiving eight dollar bills and a little button in the mail recently. I won't likely accept another dollar, but I've got a new envelope almost ready to send.
