New Tolkien Calendar
Estelyn -
I didn't think that the lo-res images that I posted on my website would be of quality sufficient for your use. If so, fine. If not, I can email the hi-res files to you. Discovered a new (previously unknown to me) Tolkien calendar: "Calendrier 2002 Tolkien". Issued in France and a unique format in my collection. Find it in the 2002 or French sections at: www.angelfire.com/tn3/tolkiencalendars Away from The Green Hill Country, Parmastahir

I've put my 35-year-old Ballantine's red-boxed paperback set to rest; having purchased a lovely black-boxed LotR set in Oxford last year, I still needed to replace my Hobbit. I am absolutely delighted with the HarperCollins paperback I got - it has Tolkien's original dustjacket illustration on the cover. Even the German bookshop saleslady who handed it to me (I was able to order it here with no delay and no problem!) thought it looks much nicer than any of the German translations of the book. It includes nine of Tolkien's own illustrations plus the maps. It also includes the first chapter of LotR at the end of the book - unnecessary in my case, but no harm done.

So Sorry!
Hi Estelyn -
Sorry to hear that you have retired your paperback boxset. I have collected a few of the paperback boxsets over the years (including a like new green one - the first boxset from Ballantine) and have first printings of those versions. My reading copies are a set which are dog-eared, wormholed (literally), paint splattered (another story), and taped together (on the spines as the covers were falling off). I can't bear to part with them even though I have other newer and nicer printings of the books. They are like old leather, soft and supple. No matter what copy you read, enjoy! Away from The Green Hill Country, Parmastahir

Oh, I won't ever part with them - for sentimental reasons and the memories associated with them. But in order to be able to keep them for the coming years, I must stop using them on a daily basis. It's astonishing that they lasted this long - I think they used to make even paperbacks better than they bind books nowadays.
