The item featured here is actually the Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 2001-2002 Student Planner (Amazon title is incorrect but the ISBN matches). This is a student planner that covers the period of August 2001 to September 2002 and uses high quality, glossy paper. It is spiral-bound with a picture of the ring and red lightning-like flashes on the cover.

I am not a student but when I saw this student planner at a local bookstore I knew I had to have it. As a long time Tolkien and Lord of the Rings fan (and one who is very excited about the upcoming Peter Jackson film adaptation - and who isnt?), this is a must have. This is the first LOTR film related merchandise to hit the shelves - the 2002 calendar and toys wont make their appearance until September - and it gives a fan like me a chance to finally get my hands on pictures (some not previously seen) from the upcoming film. One of my favorites is a photo of Aragorn kneeling in front of Frodo, hands on his chest and faithful sword Anduril on his side (perhaps a scene from Amon Hen?). The picture is so clear that you can even see a small hole on Aragorns boots. Another favorite is a photo of Frodo holding up the sword Sting to Bilbo in Rivendell (likely the scene where Bilbo gives Sting and the mithril mail to Frodo before he and the Fellowship leave for their quest). Gandalf, Saruman, Frodo, Gimli, Bilbo, Aragorn, the Orks, the Uruk Hai, Arwen and Galadriel have at least 2 pictures each. Elrond, Pippin, Legolas, Boromir, cave trolls and some other menacing characters are also featured (though, surprisingly, none of Merry!). These are actual photos from the upcoming film and did I mention that you get 38 full page (8x5)photos in vivid color! The rest of the student planner - for you legitimate students - features monthly calendars (the planner itself is weekly), a grade keeper, a list of cool and useful web sites, weights and measures, conversions, address and phone number list, birthdays and special occasions list and many more!!

I highly recommend this item for any fan of LOTR or anyone who has even the slightest interest in the upcoming film trilogy!!

It has been many years since I was a student so I purchased this for the photographs, which are quite outstanding. At first glance the photos are striking for their beauty but on closer examination they reveal the intricate detailing of the costumes. Only negative is too many pages of orcs and such creatures, which although they are magnificently created, they are not particularly pleasant to look at for very long. I feel any LOTR fan would enjoy owning this item.

This is a great addition to your Tolkien library because it contains some wonderful stills from the soon to be released movie. It is a relief to this Tolkien fan to see that the film's makers have been so careful to get just the right "feel" for the landscapes and the characters. Probably because its aimed at middle and high school students, there is a bit of an imbalance in that so many of the pictures are of terrifying orcs, balrogs, and wraiths, but even they seem true to Tolkien's vision.

Great Item. Absolutely love it. Great pictures. Bought mainly as a collector's item to keep. Its just wonderful for that or if you intend to actually write in it. Would recommend to anyone.

It was a great idea to creat this student planner. LOTR fans like me can't stand a minute without some thing with LOTR, now I can take it to school! Thank you all thoughs people who created it! LOTR LUVER, KADI
