Description: (Science Fiction And Fantasy) Tolkien, J. R. R. (edited by Christopher Tolkien) : The J. R. R. Tolkien Calendar 1979: Calendar. Ballantine Books, New York, NY. 1973. Color Illustrations: Ralph Bakshi. Near Fine This calendar is in the original cardboard mailing carton. The carton is un-opened. The carton has several spots of toning / foxing and wear. The calendar is in Near Fine condition and was issued without a dust jacket. "The earliest known production is the 1969 calendar printed in the Meretricious fanzine in December 1968. It was illustrated by Tim Kirk. Ian and Betty Ballantine of Ballantine Books, publishers of The Lord of the Rings in the United States from the 1960s, brought out a Tolkien Calendar in 1973; Ian Ballantine sent a copy to J. R. R. Tolkien, explaining that he always aimed to please the author. Also in 1973, Tolkien's publishers Allen & Unwin, having experimented with some Middle-earth posters, decided to produce an "official" calendar of their own, and brought out their first one in 1974, using Tolkien's own illustrations for The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and his then-unpublished legendarium (which would start to be presented to readers three years later as The Silmarillion). This was successful enough for further calendars featuring Tolkien's artwork to be issued for the years 1976 to 1979." (from Wikipedia) 2 #48647 $100
