On page 13 of the catalogue it mentions the Map of Beleriand and Map of Wilderland.

Are these the posters that GA&U produced with maps by Christopher Tolkien and Pauline Baynes?

I am guessing these are not new maps, but reprints of the maps they had been making for years.

The Beyond Bree "List of Tolkienalia" shows

  • Beleriand (Riddett coloured)
  • First published by A&U 1973
  • Unwin Paperbacks version - 1978

  • Wilderland (Riddett coloured)
  • A&U, 1979 (two maps on one poster - Thror's Map and Wilderland)

Where did you pick up the catalogue? I got mine from the local bookshop in Yarm back in 1989. Back in the days when RRP meant something and the retailer got 30% discount.

I think I bought it on eBay for about £5 years ago, it is one of my favourite catalogue as I really like all the items in the catalogue.

Yeah, same here - the items it contains are the "my era" items. Great little catalogue.
