Here are all the books that I’m aware of which include one or more of my own creations. Many of these are about map design, and my comprehensive list of books on this topic is here. My maps also appear in books on design and infographics, and also cities. I am always happy for my work to be included in coffee table compilations, if you want to request an image reproduction permission, then read this page first.
