I bought the Map Pack for Rise of the Runelords not too long ago, and I'm loving being able to just hand the maps out without having to make copies from the book myself. What I'd really like to see added to the Map Packs however is the pictures from each Pathfinder issue of the NPC's, events, and monsters.
I may be in the minority here as a DM so it may not be a viable venture for Paizo, but I like to have as many visual aids for my players as possible. They get way more into the game if they can connect a face to a name or have a physical representation of a menacing monster, instead of just a general idea in their heads of how it's supposed to look. For the entire Rise of the Runelords campaign I have been scanning the images from the issues, editing them in Photoshop to remove the text around them, printing them out, and then cutting them up and pasting them on those foam lined cardboard pieces used for science fair projects. I put the names of the characters or the type of creature they are next to the picture, then leave enough space for the players to write in their own notes so they don't ever forget pertinent information about that character.
It would be a big time (and ink!) saver for me if these were all pre-printed with the maps. In fact, I'd love to see ALL of the major Pathfinder characters, and not just the ones drawn in the issues, get their own drawings, as some of them I've had to find suitable replacement pictures for by scouring the internet for appropriate images.

I just started running CoCT. I had the images from the first part extracted and printed. I then hold the portraits up as the players encounter the relevant NPCs. Having those portraits collected in a separate gallery would be immensely useful.
I do the same thing. Really seems to help everyone connect to the game better.
I'm not sure about a another product though. It's easy enough to copy the images from the PDF into Power Point, then print it out. I guess, for people without a decent printer, it might be worthwhile.
I put this in the same category as the map folios: probably helpful to some, but not worth the money for me.
