What it is
Three independent community compilations of the Medium serialisation into offline formats. The Leanpub edition (Gunter) is the most polished and most current, giving PDF/EPUB/Kindle of all 19 chapters. Harmel-Law's GitHub repo is the source-controlled AsciiDoc version that produces HTML, PDF and MOBI from Releases — useful if you want to diff or re-typeset. A third, Markus Harrer's community audiobook (https://feststelltaste.github.io/wardley-maps-audiobook/ — verified) narrates all 19 chapters / 201 sections via Amazon Polly in male and female voices, distributed as MP3 plus RSS feeds for podcast apps; launched February 2021, v1.1, CC BY-SA 4.0. A basic paperback also exists via Amazon KDP, linked from Learn Wardley Mapping.
Limitations
All are third-party compilations, not authored or QA'd by Wardley; typography and figure quality vary. The Leanpub edition's "author" field says Stuart Gunter, which confuses people into thinking it's a different book. Audiobook is synthetic TTS — serviceable, not pleasant.
