Ive had this poster in storage for 10+ years. Thought I'd look it up again with better search options, but I'm still not sure;Is an original or a reprint, there is a picture on worthpoint but no details. Has the white border with no trimming.Though you would know better then I. Thank you for any help.
You have the American edition of this poster. It was first printed by George Allen & Unwin, in the same size as yours, in 1971 (I have a copy of this version). Ballantine Books printed the poster in the USA (I am not at all clear if they were simultaneous or not, but I would consider the GA&U to be first based on the information I have).
There are two versions of the US poster that I have seen documented - the 31 1/2" x 22" size (both US and UK), and also a version that is 36"x24" (US only). The US editions have the $2.50 price.
I see a note from a prominent collector that there is rumor of a version of this map that has the moon runes printed on the back so when you hold it up to the light, you can see them through the front. Just curious if yours happens to have this feature? I've never come across one with the runes, to this day.

Your copy looks to be in very good condition.
Hi, Urulókë, can you tell me which version this is? Hard to see the price but it doesn’t look like $2.50, and the bottom right edge looks generally different from the one above.
