I was in the UCLA (Southfarthing Annex) student store yesterday, and what to my wondering eyes did appear, but a new Tolkien calendar for 2005! I bought it straightaway (lucky for me too, it seemed to be the last one).
This 50th Anniversary (of the publication of Hobbit/LOTR) Calendar is indeed special, featuring drawings by Tolkien, many of which are rarely seen. It is fascinating to see the difference in his conceptions of Barad-Dur, Orthanc, Minas Tirith, etc., compared to those of Alan Lee and John Howe.
It is available from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060722983/104-1761550-1811103?v=glance/.
Better get one while, as they say, supplies last!
