I had that ST:TMP poster of the Enterprise on my wall in the 80s. I have no idea what happened to it during all of the moves I have made as an adult. I am right there with you, I wish I still had it. I have a special affinity for The Motion Picture as well. I saw it in the theater in December of 1979 when I was 12. After watching reruns of TOS, it was great to finally get new Trek. I had the movie on VHS, DVD, DVD Director's Cut, Blu-ray, and finally in spectacular 4K. I still watch it at least once a year. It is a shame that the era depicted has been forgotten as there was so much to explore after the events of TMP. I mean The Human Adventure was just beginning.
If you’re interested in TrekLit, Christopher L. Bennett has been filling in the gap between TMP and TWOK, starting with Ex Machina. It’s an interesting epilogue to TMP that also serves as a sequel to “For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky”.
I have enjoyed the novels that filled in such details but I hate that the "official canon" received through TV and the movies skipped this time period.

I read Ex Machina shortly after it came out and remember enjoying it. I think there was a hot tub scene…?
