I think the first edition of Pendragon remains the most beautiful box set in the history of the roleplaying game art form. Gorgeous cover by Jody Lee, innovative but clean layout by Yurek Chodak, wonderful full colour map by Charlie Krank and above all the romantic interior art by Lisa Free.

While the fold-out map that comes with Cthulhu by Gaslight is pretty, it's also a tad small to make out all the details.
Then I learned Chaosium sells larger ones through their Red Bubble store.

Stop trying to make lacebands happen, Sam
Got me ready in the morning and put on my first new laceband; and so neat it is, that I am resolved my great expense shall be lacebands, and it will set off any thing else the more.

On a warm Spring night I’m listening to the music of Jawbreaker as played on the cello. While the universal gesture of punk rock is to extend the middle finger, in our senior Gen X years it is also acceptable to occasionally raise a pinky. Our backs hurt.
