The Collection Grows - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My daughter and I printed the 2009 Heren Istarion / Northeast Tolkien Society calendar last evening. I will be getting the order list from Jessie & Anthony and posting very soon and posting them next week. So those that have ordered should see their calendars well before Christmas and the New Year.

I think it a wonderful creation (but I am biased in this matter!) Please consider ordering one (at http://herenistarion.org )for your use during the year (or collection of Tolkienalia.) This may be your only chance to see some of Colin William's illustrations. He is an amateur (in name only!) and his work is not well-known.

Thank you!

For those interested, I updated my website today with the seven 2009 calendars that I have been able to catalog/collect (so far!)

Updated my Tolkien calendar website with several new entries: a calendar of photos of New Zealand sites where the LotR movies were filmed; a recently discovered 1994 calendar based upon an iconic 1977 poster. Check them out at:

Nice calendars as usually, Parmastahir!
Btw, do you know of any free downloadable calendars for 2009?
I remember a German guy did a nice one for 2008...

Hello The Might -

Sorry. I have not discovered any downloadable calendars. But your question led me to put such a search on my "to do" list. One never knows what one will find when doing so. I think the downloadable one that you referred to was the 2007 from Bernd Huber, no?

If your finances have changed ;-) , you may wish to consider getting the 2009 HI/NETS calendar. It's not downloadable. It is a "real" calendar. Just a thought!

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you!

Sorry to be a downer (lol, a Downer

) Parmastahir, but unfortunately no change, so I guess I'll order the Nasmith HarperCollins one for 2009. It's available on German Amazon and it's fairly cheap at that. I mean, so is yours too actually, but adding the send fee it's a bit pricy for me.

EDIT: yes, it was Bernd Huber whom I had in mind.

Hello The Might -

Loved the pun! Some people don't appreciate them. But I do!

As this thread is titled "The Collection Grows," it is appropriate to tell you (and others with an interest) of three calendars that I just received and entered on my website. Two (A3 and A4 size) are the annual offering from Colin Williams. The third is also from Mr. Williams. But it is his is first attempt at both full-color illustrations and subjects from LotR. Previously, all illustrations were pen and ink and depicted scenes from "The Hobbit." Colin was generous enough to allow me to feature illustrations from his previous calendars in the 2009 HI/NETS calendar.

Happy New Year to all!
