Thanks to the efforts of Srodziemie (elfy to his friends) received a variant copy of the 2006 Polish TS calendar. This one was issued for only a few days and was printed on yellow paper (where the "regular" issue was printed on white paper). Added it to my website the other day.

Hello to All -

Hope your summer is going well and that you have a most enjoyable 4th of July.

Put a new calendar of the month up for July. It is a true rarity (only three copies of it were printed).

p.s. - I noted with great interest that there are now almost 4,000 views of this thread. While the calendars are of great interest to me, I'm wondering who is visting? (I only view it when I note a reply or make a post myself.) In any case, thanks to all for dropping in.

Hi Parmastahir,

There is a 2007 calendar on the Australian Ebay that I have not seen (you probably have), but here's the link if you are interested

Hi Parmastahir,

since you asked (about number of views)...

with 72 replies, that works out to a bit more than 50 unique people viewing the thread each time a reply is posted. I think we get more unique viewers on the thread than that (most don't come back every post of course). I also think bots (like google) are not counted but I have to check that again sometime.

The site is up to about 500 unique visitors per day already, and that is without a books section! (Hard at work at that now...)

And just about to reach 2000 pages in the Guide section, too.

To Dior - My thanks for writing about the Australian eBay calendar listing. I had NOT seen that one before! As the seller has it listed for sale only to Australia, I have written seeking permission. If not, I have several close friends down under that would get it for me.

To Jeremy - Thanks for the comments on the views. OK, I'm very much into collecting these so my visits (as few as they are and then only to post or reply posts) are understandable. But who are all of the others?? I'm beginning to realize (as the result of Dior's post and an email that I received from another acquaintance who's much into the boxed sets) that others continue to support my interest. To which I must say, "Thanx and a tip o' the mug to ye!"

Best to all.
