5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Cause, August 1, 2008

Folks,

If you're considering buying this calendar please keep this in mind. Tom Doherty Associates is donating a portion of the proceeds, and Robert Jordan's estate is donating 100% of the royalties, to the Mayo Clinic for research on amyloidosis. Robert Jordan personally selected the images just a few weeks before he passed away. If nothing else, you'll be donating to a good cause and you'll get a sample of Robert Jordan's taste in art!

I just got three of these. The artwork is an interesting mix of styles and most of it is very good quality. As chosing the artwork for this calendar was one of the last things RJ did before passing, this is an item that any Wheel of Time fan is going to want in their collection. And all of Robert Jordan's royalties as well as some fo the proceeds from TOR goes to the Mayo clinic. By one for yourself and one or more as gifts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak Sauce... Good cause, January 8, 2009

I was disappointed to find out that the online description for this calendar, at the time of my purchase, did not have pictures of how the art inside looked.

Once I received the calendar, I could see why. They are amateur and some are just really bad. I decided to keep the calendar at work and use it there just because I'm an avid fan of the Wheel of Time series and because there is a good cause behind the sale of them as a product to support the Mayo clinic.

However, like I said, the art sucks. My recommendation is not to buy it unless you are thinking of it as a donation to a good cause.
