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.

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.
