[FLYTIP] My Favorite Maps Within Books

September 30, 2017      Erica Robyn      18 Comments

Welcome to another FLYTIP post!

FLYTIP is an original feature hosted by FLYLēF. The purpose is to share blog design graphics and advice, as well as encourage related discussions.

The topic for Saturday, September 30th is a guest prompt from Lili @ Utopia State of Mind.

The prompt: Care for Cartography || What are 5-10 of your favorite maps within books? 

My Favorite Maps Within Books

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
This map appears in the first few pages of the edition of Treasure Island that I have. I love that it outlines treasure island itself and includes notes such as “strong tide here” or bulk of treasure found here.”

Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton
This map is location the the endpaper when you first open the book. The map shows the route taken by William Johnson from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Deadwood, Dakota Territory. 

Keeper and the Rune Stone by Paige W. Pendleton
This map is located right before the prologue. This photo really doesn’t do it justice! I have had the opportunity to see a larger colored version, and it is stunning!
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
Toward the back of this edition of the book, there is a whole maps section. This one is my favorite, as it shows all of the Westside of Middle-Earth.

The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne 
How cute is this map?! I love that it is designed as though Christopher Robin made it, complete with comments and spelling errors. And check out that compass!

Honorable Mention- The Marauder’s Map from the Harry Potter series


The Marauder's Map
Thanks for reading!

    I love maps in books! The Middle- earth one is definitely a favorite, and so is the Hundred Aker Wood (I love the misspellings). And a good treasure map is awesome!

    I love maps on endpapers. I just find them so charming. Is that Middle Earth map from the pocket edition of the books?

    Ah I wasn't a fan of Treasure Island so it is was hard for me to admire the map when I read it because I was biased! But I do love the Winnie the Pooh one. My childhood <3

      Ah yeah, I hear ya! I didn't like it when I read it for school either. I was planning on giving it another shot this winter. We'll see if I actually read the whole thing! 🙂

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
