High-resolution photographs of minerals on 12 month and 16 month calendars
After experimenting with many different printers, I am very happy with the on-line mail-order product available from Lulu.com. Here's the link to my storefront there. At $26 for a 13.5"x19" 12-month calendar, the price is higher than you would pay for mass-produced calendars in a bookstore, but the quality is superb. I make $2 on each calendar sold. I offer versions with miscellaneous minerals, specific minerals such as wulfenite, and minerals from one country or region. Whenever possible, I choose an image with seasonal colors for each month. The names of the minerals and the place of origin of the specimen are given in one corner. The size of the specimen, or the width of the field of view, are also indicated.The pictures on the calendars are about 34x26 cm (13.5"x10.2"). Depending on the one you order, they will have special days for the US or Canada - or both - and sometimes Christian religious holidays. If you'd like a calendar with a particular series of photos or special days noted, just email me and I'll try to accommodate you.
Previously, all of my Lulu calendars have been of 'premium' quality, for which each month is on a single page together with its photograph. I have begun preparing 'regular' calendars, hinged in the middle, which are much less expensive. When I have seen what these are like, I will release them for sale (hopefully the end of January).
Time marches on, so the calendars are sometimes changed and will often begin on some month other than January. These are the ones currently on sale:
