5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING CHRONOLOGY!!, June 27, 2003

I was thoroughly impressed with this masterpiece of modern date-keeping. I mean, ALL the days are in order within the appropriate months! And even February FOLLOWS January! Not the other way around as one would get with "other" inferior calendars. I've seen calendars in my life (LOTS of calendars!) but none so gloriously laid out as this. Take March for example: you know how March generally has 31 days? Well, THEY'RE ALL HERE!! All 31 in a row! Mondays following Sundays . . .Thursdays after Wednesdays and so on and so forth. It's incredible how much time(ha!)went into the immaculate design of this baby. I'm recommending this caledar to everyone I know who is FED UP with the current hapless order of the days of the week. If you are sick and tired of lousy, poorly organized "we know what's good for you" calendars and you really want something stimulating and emotionally challenging for once, then BUY THIS CALENDAR!!! You will never regret it! And even if you do regret it, you will finally know in which day of the week your regret happens.
The artwork's pretty cool, too.

I am disappointed in the quality of the art, as I was expecting something much more realistic, not so impressionistic. Other than that, there isn't much to say about a calendar.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2001 Tolkien Diary, August 9, 2000

I'm as impressed with the diary as I am with the 2001 Tolkien Calendar. It is hardbacked and contains a yearly calendars with each week laid out on a different page , picture captions and a place for recording names and addresses. Howe is the intervening monthly illustrator. His depiction of events from the Lord of the Rings in this year's diary illustrations are almost as good as a photograph, the attention to detail is so good. Both he He and Nasmith, the author of this year's calendar are the best illustrator's I've seen for Tolkien's works. If you miss either of them, you'll wish you hadn't. From the sinister picture of the ringwraiths in the shire to the upheaval of Mount doom, the illustrations alone are worth the price of the diary which has plenty of room for writing your thoughts or important memories under each calendar day.
