| The Beyond Bree calendars had been issued from 1985 through 1994 (except for 1990 and 1993). Not many were created (from 60 to 75 depending on the year.) After a long hiatus, BB returned with a full-color (a first) calendar for 2010. Beyond Bree celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2011. If you need any indication of its vibrancy, simply look at their recent calendars and the contributors. It is an extraordinary group. | |
