I"d probably get one too....still have to get last yrs though.(I have the others though ) I do hope he does do a wonderful 12 photos est outtakes from BD/WH .....we all know theres tons too. Of course other time periods are always welcomed. I do hope there are some full head to toe shots esp of Stevie & the boots....that would be great!! Color pics too.....I to would love me this 'coffee table book' but yeah I guess the $$ would be the thing....he could always take a head count on whom would purchase that a Stevie coffee book & a Fmac coffee book.......More posters too please....color t-shirts too......(not baby doll ones--I love the pics on those but those shirts sadly I couldn't fit in them--so why purchase them......) anyway......hope he does surprise us all this time.........I do hope he'll keep making them. It was sad that after '85 he just stopped doing it.......just think of all the wonderful pic's we could've seen if more had been released back than.....sad but true........IMO anyway.....

Count me in for a new calendar, as well. I also echo those who would love to see a coffee table book. With more than 35 years worth of pictures to draw from, can you imagine what could be in there?

I had the good fortune to speak with Mr. Worthington a year or so ago when I ordered an earlier calendar and some posters. He is a nice guy to talk to, and seems to really appreciate your business. He is also an honest business man. He talked me out of spending money on something that I could never use when I asked about some of the limited edition t-shirts from a couple of years ago. He told me that they were only in womens' styles and sizes. If my wife was a Stevie fan, I would have bought a couple anyway just for being up front with me.

I also gathered from our conversation that he does not have the final say over content, or even the prices he charges for things. I take it that he must comply with Chris Nicks's wishes. I guess Stevie may be the Goddess, but Christopher Nicks rules the empire.

Thanks so much, and you pretty much summed it all up.. LOL.. He's a great person to do business with, and I agree that he doesn't really have the final say over content...I get that too from our conversations as well.. and for those who mention a "coffee table book"- unless you guys are willing to come up with about- (and this is merely a guess) but I'm guessing around 200$ upward, and that would probably need to be paid up front, I don't see it happening. He's explained to me he needs one heck of a lot of money to come up with to have a nice coffee table book made.. and in order to have that happen, he would need to charge a good amount to cover all charges. I would SO love that, as he would have the awesome pictures to put in there.. but I guess all we can do is say some big prayers that maybe down the road they'll have the money to do this..

Wow, seriously? For that kind of cash, it better be a thick book with lots of new photos we have never seen before. But... if it was, I would be willing to buy it only for the sheer collectible factor and it would be a great thing to own. Seriously though, how does all that work? If Stevie kicked in some cash for the project, she would just get some of the proceeds. Damn, you would think it would not be that hard... no brainer Stevie.. just do it. Mix the photos in with her artwork. Seriously... again, no brainer right?

Hey Sandy..

I agree.. I know it would be something nice..Just not sure how easy all of that would be.. I think there's a lot more to it..

Another Worthington calendar?

I hope it has more out-of-focus concert photos, badly-cropped full-facial portraits, stiffly-posed RAL outtakes where she's wrapped in more drapery than an average Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and photos where she bears a disturbing resemblance to Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner.

I'll buy that for $40, Herbie.

I definitely want a copy of the next Worthington calendar.
Thanks.

I'd probably pay that for a great coffee table book. why can't he put together a proposal and show to everyone and then take orders through a certain date and then only produce books for those that order. he could work with fans on layout and pictures, etc. - it's a major opportunity...and I'm sure advertising on this site, a few others and Nicksfix as a limited edition...and maybe a couple signed by Stevie would boost sales. anyway, I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I just don't like excuses!

Yes, he needs to put together a proposal and get a publishing co. on board for funding for this beautifully bound coffee-table book to seriously see the light of day. And that of course would have to have Stevie and her management heavily involved, as well a publishing house seeing potential profits (which the odds are against) unless Stevie's proposal includes a 2-part book deal, the 1st being a biography of sorts all in photographs featuring all her iconic live and studio images w/ teaser commentary that is a prelude to a salacious and more introspective tell all book. I know what you all are thinking....Dream on silly dreamer

Hey Jazz..

I hear you.. but no money - to do this upfront, is basically bottom line! I don't like excuses either.. but that is a fact. We could propose things to him until the cows come home, but he has to pay people upfront for anything to happen, and unfortunately, Stevie won't sign anything these days at all- with him. Again, I'd love to see this happen.. as I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer.. but just stating what's going on, and facts..
