May I piggyback? Am looking to reread a sci-fi book from the seventies. I remember it is about a large tube in space, a ship that was so large that the entire inside of the tube was like a world with its own atmosphere and clouds in the middle . Characters could look up to the sky and see cities and farms on the other side of the tube. There was a special paperback cover with a pull out picture of the ship.

I read it - for some reason, Phillip Jose Farmer comes to mind.
