It's one of the first things we discover as children, reading and drawing: Maps have a unique power to transport us to distant lands on wondrous travels. Put a map at the start of a book, and we know an adventure is going to follow. Displaying this truth with beautiful full-color illustrations, The Writer's Map is an atlas of the journeys that our most creative storytellers have made throughout their lives. This magnificent collection encompasses not only the maps that appear in their books but also the many maps that have inspired them, the sketches that they used while writing, and others that simply sparked their curiosity.

Philip Pullman recounts the experience of drawing a map as he set out on one of his early novels, The Tin Princess. Miraphora Mina recalls the creative challenge of drawing up "The Marauder's Map" for the Harry Potter films. David Mitchell leads us to the Mappa Mundi by way of Cloud Atlas and his own sketch maps. Robert Macfarlane reflects on the cartophilia that has informed his evocative nature writing, which was set off by Robert Louis Stevenson and his map of Treasure Island. Joanne Harris tells of her fascination with Norse maps of the universe. Reif Larsen writes about our dependence on GPS and the impulse to map our experience. Daniel Reeve describes drawing maps and charts for The Hobbit film trilogy. This exquisitely crafted and illustrated atlas explores these and so many more of the maps writers create and are inspired by--some real, some imagined--in both words and images.

Amid a cornucopia of 167 full-color images, we find here maps of the world as envisaged in medieval times, as well as maps of adventure, sci-fi and fantasy, nursery rhymes, literary classics, and collectible comics. An enchanting visual and verbal journey, The Writer's Map will be irresistible for lovers of maps, literature, and memories--and anyone prone to flights of the imagination.

Very strong and cute tumbler
Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Rose Quartz 2.0, Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Rose Quartz 2.0
Great quencher to get. I got this for my self and I love it so much. It's super cute and the color I got is a light soft pink. The size is big which is great since I like having enough coffee to last me all day. It keeps my drinks cold and warm or what ever temperature it is for a good amount of time which is great for anyone who is out for long periods of time. The quality overall is very good. The handle is big, comfortable and easy to grip and the quencher fits perfectly on my gym bag. Only downside is that it did get a smudge on it after I removed the paper that it had on the bottom. I tried removing the smudge it feels sticky like glue but it didnt get removed so I had to put a sticker over it to cover it up.

This is a great basic protective shower curtain
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
This is a great product. It allows me to have a decorative curtain that won’t get water damaged or mildewed. The price point was right on and I will definitely be buying it again. Pros: The thickness is great. Not too flimsy. I was also impressed with the fact that there wasn’t a chemical smell like we often get with plastic curtains. It was very easy to put up and was just the right length to keep the water in the shower while it does a great job protecting the decorative curtain. It also has weights to assist it with hanging correctly. Cons: Make sure to spread it out after your shower to prevent water stains .

Serves Purpose.
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
Ok perfect! Although it could be thicker and the holes placement lower to match the curtin holes. I had to adjust the shower bar by lowering so magnets attach. And they may carry a thicker curtain I didn't check.

Thicker liner that stays in place and keeps water inside the tub
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1), Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I replaced my old shower liner with this BigFoot clear liner, and it’s a noticeable upgrade. The material feels thicker than the typical cheap liners, which helps it hang properly instead of sticking to you while showering. The weighted bottom is one of the best features. It keeps the liner in place so water doesn’t leak out onto the floor, even with a strong shower stream. Once it’s set up, it just stays put without constantly needing adjustment. Installation was straightforward with standard hooks, and the reinforced grommets feel durable enough that they won’t tear easily over time. The clear design is also a plus because it keeps the bathroom looking brighter and less closed in. It wipes down easily and so far hasn’t shown signs of mildew, which is important for something that’s constantly exposed to moisture. Pros: • Thicker material than standard liners • Weighted bottom keeps it in place • Reinforced grommets add durability • Clear design keeps bathroom bright Cons: • Slight plastic smell at first (fades quickly) • Still needs occasional cleaning to prevent buildup Overall, this is a simple but well-made shower liner that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great upgrade from thinner, cheaper options.

Thick and clear
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I like that this shower liner is clear, so you can still see the main shower curtain behind it. The magnets at the bottom help give it weight and keep it against the tub, so it doesn't blow around. The material also feels thicker than cheaper liners. So far, it’s been working well.
