"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2004-2005 Student Planner" is a definite must-have! I am an absolute lover of the Lord of the Rings books, not to mention the movies. I have used the two previous versions of this student planner, so I was so pleased to see them come out with another planner for this school year! This student planner is a terrific addition to my Lord of the Rings collection. One of the best things about this student planner must be mentioned, which are the wonderful photographs!

This is a 12 month student planner, 7.30" x 8.86", and is wire-o bound. Includes:
*GENERAL INFORMATION* - Insert your general info.
*EMERGENCY INFORMATION* - Insert you emergency info.
*YEAR-AT-A-GLANCE PAGE* - Includes all special dates.
*CLASS SCHEDULE* - Fill in class schedules for the 5 school days, including space for the times for the 7 classes. There are 4 blank schedules for the four school quarters.
*WEEKLY PLANNER* - Plenty of large movie stills from the hit-movie and plenty of room to put all information you need to write down.
*GRADE KEEPER* - Put in your grades for up to 11 subjects, includes a chart on 'Grade Point Average'.
*COMMONLY MISUSED WORDS* - 45 sets of commonly misused words.
*WEIGHTS & MEASURES* - A complete chart for both the Metric System and the U.S. Customary System.
*CONVERSIONS* - I must say this will be VERY helpful to me! Seems very complete.
*COMMONLY MISSPELLED WORDS* - 321 different words.
*ADDRESS/PHONE* - 2-pages to fill with friend's and family's info.
*BIRTHDAYS & SPECIAL OCCASIONS* - Fill in special events and their dates.
*NOTES* - Only 1 page to fill with your notes. I had hoped there would be more.

One thing is that there is some sort of confusion about the front cover. In Amazon it shows the picure of Legolas and Gimli on a horse, while my front cover is the main poster used to promote "The Return of the King". In either case, both are spectacular pictures. The whole book is in beautiful faded parchment colors of light brown and yellowish brown. All pages have the faded background of the White Tree of Gondor and a red vine edge near the center. All of this gives the book a beautiful touch. The pictures are not particularily clear images but are given a textured effect.

Only one complaint... there are no pictures of Faramir! I mean, even Galadriel gets a full page picture, why doesn't Faramir? *sniff sniff*

With its high gloss, full color illustrated cover of the beloved LOTR RTK characters, this planner draws you into the LOTR world. With authentic fonts and gold swashes of color throughout, this planner offers ample room for writing, excellent page layout, strong quality pages, better than average spiral binding and is drilled with two holes so it can be attached into a three-ring notebook binder. Each week offers a full-page, full color movie still, many which I have not seen used in other print products. The back section of the planner offers tools including a grade recorder, lists of commonly mispelled and misused words, math conversions, and pages for notes, birthdays, and addresses. It's even printed on recycled paper. Best product I've seen for this price and even a few bucks more. This durable and attractive planner is an excellent choice for kids and adults alike. This teacher gives this planner, "two thumbs up!"

If you buy this to actually use, buy TWO! One to keep and one to save. For if you get one, then you will see you want to keep it in it's pristine condition.

It have monthly calendars, a place for class schedules. Then August 2004-August 2005 it have a page for weekly appointments. On the left side, you get a full color picture of ROTK.

For LOTRs fans, it's a must. You just won't want to do anything but save it!

It's worth every penny as a collectors item, but I would cry actually using this beautifully produced planner.

The Lord of the Rings-Return of the King Student Planner would have been more accurately called a date book/appointment book. The illustrations are lovely, and it does contain a lot of nice extras such as: Calendar pages, class schedule for 4 quarters, grade keeper, lists of commonly misused and misspelled words, weights & measures, and an area for phone numbers and addresses.
Unfortunately, the main body of the planner falls short. Each week has a full-page photo from the movie. This leaves only a one-page area, into which is squeezed seven days, each day having just four lines in which to write. Also, there are no subject headings, or time slots.The poor layout and limited space renders this planner inadequate for my son's busy schedule, so now I'm in search of a better planner. I'm keeping this one,simply because he is a huge Lord of the Rings fan. He will use it for appointments,special occasions, etc. But for a student planner, it just doesn't fit the bill.
