This is a list of cartography and geospatial-related books that, to my knowledge, are being published in 2025. I will update this page 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).
Contact me to suggest a book or correct information. If you are a publisher, author or publicist and would like to send me a review copy, please see the reviewing guidelines. (If the icon appears in a listing, it means that I have received a review copy from the publisher.)
Books can 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 try to make a note of such things.
