Here are the map, cartography and geospatial-related books that, to my knowledge, have been published or are scheduled to be published in 2024. This page will be updated throughout the year as I receive new information. Which is to say that this information is subject to change and often in flux (publishers reschedule books all the time).
To suggest a book for this list, please contact me. Corrections are also welcome. If you are a publisher, author or publicist and would like to send me a review copy, please see the reviewing guidelines.
Books are listed in chronological order, mostly. Books may have different release dates in different markets and in different formats. As examples, a book may come out in the U.K. months before it does in the U.S., and the ebook edition may come out months before the paper edition. I make a note of these sorts of things.
