Crap Towns

First editions

Crap Towns: The 50 Worst Places to Live in the UK,[1] Crap Towns II: The Nation Decides,[2] and Crap Towns Returns: Back by Unpopular Demand,[3] are a series of books edited by Sam Jordison and Dan Kieran, in association with UK quarterly The Idler;[4] in which towns in the United Kingdom were nominated by visitors to The Idler website for their "crapness", with the results being published in The Idler and in the books. A sister publication, Crap Jobs, was created by similar means, and Crap Holidays was published in October 2006.[5] In June 2012, the editors announced that they were gathering nominations for a third edition of Crap Towns (published 2013).[6]
