Calendars

Waiting for new calendars with Scandinavian photography to arrive each year brings on the same degree of anticipation people in the frozen tundra of the northern states experience in early January when they put on snowmobile suits, two pair of mittens, Kickerinos, and tie scarves over their faces to waddle half a mile to the mailbox to see if the new seed catalogues from Burpees or Guerneys have arrived. But, while the suspense might be the similar, the design and quality of the artwork and paper can be seen even through fogged-up bifocals. Besides, who ever framed a page out of the seed catalog and hung it in the living room?

Calendars for the coming year are usually arrive by late June. They will be added to this page as soon as they arrive and the cost has been determined. Rural Route Bookstore plans to again offer five Scandinavian calendars for 2011. If you would like to be on the "Reserve a 2011 Calendar" list, email me and put CALENDAR 2011 in the Subject line. Type your name, phone number and which calendar you would like in the body of the email. Using images from this year's calendars, below are examples of the calendars we will most likely have in stock by July 1 for next year.
