Shetland
Calendar 1998
We
publish calendars annually of the following areas: Orkney,
Shetland, Western Isles and Caithness. The calendars are the
same design as for the last two years, with a larger size
which allows bigger pictures and a more useful calendar area,
but with only minimal increase in price and weight. The pictures
are of course all new. As usual the calendars are widely
available in each area, but may be ordered direct, either
via e-mail charles.tait@zetnet.co.uk,
telephone or fax. Retail price is £4.50 per calendar
plus UK postage and packing of 50p. Overseas post and packaging
extra at cost. Payment by Visa, Mastercard or American Express
is preferred.
