Here are the map- and cartography-related books that, to my knowledge, have been published or are scheduled to be published in 2023. This page will be updated throughout the year as I receive new information. That information is subject to change (publishers reschedule books all the time).
To suggest a book for this list, please contact me. Corrections also welcome. If you are a publisher, author or publicist and would like to send me a review copy, please see the reviewing guidelines.
For the most part, where the physical book and ebook publication dates differ, books are listed by physical book publication date. (Sometimes the ebook comes out a lot earlier than the paper edition.)
