It is that time of year again when pre-orders start coming out for next year's calendars. One of my favorites every year is the Beyond Bree issue, due to the high quality of the artwork, materials, and editing that bring it all together into a beautiful package. This next year's theme is the Dwarves of Tolkien's Middle-earth, and the list of artists is a veritable Who's Who of well known Tolkien fan (and professional!) artists from around the world.

Beyond Bree is a mail-based group of Tolkien fans organized by Nancy Martcsh, with a monthly newsletter (also called "Beyond Bree") and well worth subscribing to. It has been running non-stop for over thirty years providing news, articles, and connections to other fans and fan organizations worldwide.



"Beyond Bree" is delighted to announce its new calendar for 2014. Drums roar loudly from the deep of the mountains as we celebrate the Dwarves of Tolkien's world with this fantastic collection of international art featuring: Anke Eissmann, Sylvia Hunnewell, Jay Johnstone, Tim Kirk, Octo Kwan, Nancy Martsch, Jef Murray, Ted Nasmith, David Wenzel, Colin Williams, Maciej Wygnanski, and more!

The colour and black & white calendar will have both Middle-earth dates and real world holidays. It will be 11 x 8 1/2 inches, opening to 11 x 17 inches.

Pricing: $20 plus shipping - USA $2.00, the rest of the world $5.00. For PayPal orders please add $1.00.
