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out their first one in 1974, using Tolkien's own illustrations for The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and his then-unpublished legendarium (which would start to be presented to readers three years later as The Silmarillion).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) 2 132 #48648 $100
