My brother-in-law's new book is coming out next Tuesday! Right now I'm reading an advance copy and I'm really enjoying it.
If you, like me, you tend to read more fiction than nonfiction don't let that scare you off. Maphead, or {muh-FEED} as some of us call it, covers fascinating ground in an down-to-earth way and is funny to boot. It's fun to read AND every time I set it down I also feel a bit smarter--bonus! Plus, there are some great bits about my adorable sister-in-law Mindy in it (which you will probably like even if you don't know her).
So yeah, you should probably pick up a copy. Amazon has Maphead for preorder at $15* If you don't get one now, keep it in mind come Christmas time. Anyone who has at least a vague interest in the world and how it works will enjoy it but I think it would make a particularly great gift for those hard-to-shop-for guys in your life (especially if they run towards being smart and funny and a little/a lot on the nerdy side like the ones in my life.)
