What is the name and issue of "french journal published last summer with a full size fold out map reproduction of the Pauline Baynes Map of Middle Earth poster"? I couldn't tell what was the journal name versus article description.

The journal's name is "LE UN" (The one), n° 509, "Penser avec le Seigneur des anneaux"

Thank you! Always wanted that poster. Found a site I could buy it and have it shipped to the US for 18,50 €. Not cheap for a magazine, but much cheaper than an original :)
Link for anyone else who wants it. Much cheaper in Europe, I'm sure.

Excellent collecting Emilien!

Thanks again guys

Always impressed 😉

Can't resist to add the very last today's arrival.
Russian editions illustrated by Denis Gordeev, featuring gorgeous black and white and colour illustrations.
The Silmarillion (2000 printed) and the Children of Hurin particularly are really hard to find.
The oversized edition of the Hobbit (2015, with a beautiful cloth binding) contains 28 illustrations in colour and amazing endpapers!

I now have to hunt copies of the last volumes illustrated by Gordeev in this series (which are really difficult to find but will try) : Tales from the Perilous Realm, The Fall of Arthur (the only illustrated edition of that book) and Smith of Wootton Major (which exists in 2 versions, with b&w illustrations or oversized in colour).

Oooh that endpaper is stunning. Congrats Emilien.
