Nice one - last year they transposed some of the site labels but that didn't spoil it - I'm look at (sadly!) Hadrain's Wall now!

Greetings from Tyneside

Both calendars are lovely, (despite that frickin' bastarding wall) and available from Waterstones (bleh!). The long trip is well worth a read. I bought it for a chap once and he thought the sub-title implied it was his biography.

Also worth checking out from this months FT reviews are:-

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1842930583/qid=1068723254/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-4159482-6471809?v=glance&s=books

Described as a "Comprehensive guide to the dying god motif… He has opened up the Celtic world to a modern scrutiny free of romantic speculation, and made a good cause for seeing it's roots in the rituals of the Neolithic… "

Or for overpriced (£35), fancy photos of megaliths that isn't actually out yet:-
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0224064649/qid=1068723305/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-4159482-6471809?v=glance&s=books

Which FT compares to TMA by saying that "Unlike Julian's book, you wouldn't want to take this with you as you roam the British countryside", but also "Excellent present if you can bear to give it away"

FT are normally quite good in their book reviews.

:-) to yuzall,
Hob
