Hello Estelyn -

Thanks for your comments. I am really happy with the new site (and need to abandon the old one.) It has so much space that I can now add the monthly illustrations. I know of a few sites (such as Rolozo Tolkien's) that have such pages. I have been using all of my spare time to create such pages.

I first learned of the 79 Hobbit calendar many years ago. It was included in a list of calendars compiled by Nancy Martsch et al (Beyond Bree.) A fellow collector sent me photos of magazine advertisements for it. The earlier ad announced its expected publication; the latter showed it would not be issued. I had removed an entry for it from my website based upon the latter . . . and the fact that it had not ever appeared anywhere. Then two years ago, a copy of it appeared on eBay. Two others have materialized since then.

I hope you continue to enjoy the new site.

Away from The Green Hill Country,

Parmastahir
