The Collection Grows - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hello The Might -

Until I saw the eBay auction for the 1991 calendar, I was unaware of its existence. So all I can say is "I don't know what I don't know!" Therefore if you should happen upon any German language Tolkien calendar, please let me know (either here or via my website). Even if I should have a copy of it, I would still let others know of a goodie. Nice to see you here, too!

I'm hoping to add another rarity (only three copies of a particular calendar were printed) to my collection soon. The current owner has indicated that she would be kind enough to part with it. It's tough to do because it's one of only three copies and because she contributed some of the artwork for it. I can't wait to see it!

'nuff for now!

Entered a new calendar on my website this morning. It is the 2007 Henning Janssen Fantasy Birthday calendar. Although issued this year, it is not dated for calendar year 2007 but intended for capturing birthdays (and anniversaries, etc) annually. You may view the illustrations on his website.

Hope you like it!

I have been able to catalog but not collect a number of commercial Tolkien calendars from Poland. Surprisingly, I have been able to find all of the issues from Parmadili/Polish Tolkien Society even though I am certain that they create many fewer calendars. If anyone can help me to find and collect the Polish Tolkien calendars from Zysk-i-ska and Wydanicto Amber, I would much appreciate hearing from you (either here or via my website Compleat Gyde to Tolkien Calendars) Thank you!

Added a rarity to the Compleat Gyde to Tolkien Calendars today: the 2003 Tolkien's Ring calendar. Only three copies exist. A member (who created an illustration of Old Man Willow for it) was kind enough to part with it.

I discovered a Polish website that appeared to have three Polish Tolkien Society calendars for sale. One I had catalogued but not collected, and the other two were new to me. Long story short, I contacted a colleague there who confirmed same, ordered them, and sent them to me. I added the two new ones (2003 Parmadili calendars) to my website today.

Thanks for looking in!

It's June and that means a new Calendar of the Month feature. Hope you like it.

Happy Summer everyone!

I just got an Allen & Unwin FIRST EDITION LotR hardback set for £33.00 including postage & packing!!!!

Ok, its a 1965 11th impression, with a slight piece of the title page of FotR missing & the dust jacket of FotR has some tears, but overall very solid, with maps, & its the original 1954/55 text.

And the moral - keep an eye on Abe Books (or have a very good friend who will keep an eye on it for you!)
