I had that set of Lord of the Rings. Didn't all of the covers go together to one large image?

Indeed they did. It was also available as a huge poster, about five feet long. I had one hanging over my bed when I was a teenager.
I still have it, though the edges are in real bad shape.

Oh yeah! That's a pretty great poster! I had a long poster of the history of life on earth but I can't find it online.

I also have the Pauline Baynes map of middle Earth. It too has seen better days

I really loved that map. I used to look at all the places that weren't visited by the Fellowship and imagine what could be there.

I don't know about you, but we moved all the time so all my posters got put up and taken down a lot. None lasted all that long. I actually used to hang the cloth maps from games like Ultima since they could take the abuse better. 😅

@nyrath let me guess, your fave in the Mad Scientists was the UFO story (same as me) 😁👍

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
