“it may just be the most revolutionary geography-related book ever published” Geographical Magazine August 2010

We certainly believed in the groundbreaking and ‘revolutionary’ Mission:Explore book which Can of Worms published this April 1st. But it wonderful to receive such an endorsement for the great work of The Geography Collective and Tom Morgan-Jones’s humourous illustrations. And if you haven’t got a copy yet, you can order by clicking here: Mission:Explore or through your local bookstore on online retailer.

Tom Morgan-Jones

We have sung the praise of The Geography Collective repeatedly on this site for their wonderful inventiveness for coming up with the concept and in writing Mission:Explore. But, we have not said enough about the amazing talent of Tom Morgan-Jones who has brought to life the quirkiness of the Mission Explore concept. So today, we would ask that you make your mission to explore the wonderful illustrations of Tom Morgan-Jones on his website: http://www.inkymess.com/
