Summary: The calendar that could have been. . .
Comment: Never ceases to amaze me how some simple design considerations and keeping one's core audience in mind can help change what could easily have become a mundane product into something that is very much appreciated by all. Too bad these simple design considerations are always ignored by the Simon & Shuster crew when it comes to the design of ALL Star Trek calendars. They seem to throw a calendar together, making it reminiscent of a "Puppies" or "Your Favorite Cat" calendar.
The 2001 "Ships of the Line" had all the great images. If it were not for the ridiculous idea of turning what should have been a one piece, horizontal calendar into a folding calendar. Of course, this placed a crease, free of charge, down the middle of what might have been a series of nice posters, suitable for framing.
2002 "Ships of the Line" has just the opposite. That being a majority of mediocre images with only a couple of exceptions, many we've seen before, and the traditional square format. Hey, if it were the horizontal format, Simon & Shuster would fold it anyway. A couple of the images would have been truly worth framing in this one. Such as the crewman standing outside the hull of the Galaxy Class nacelle and the 'garage' of Worker Bees. The rest seem to have been created in a hurry.
Maybe in 2003, "Ships of the Line" will come out with a horizontal format and some clear, precise, never-seen-before views of Federation Starships. And then again, maybe Simon and Shuster will fold that one too.

Summary: A good calender
Comment: It's a pretty good calender, but some of the image choices are dissapointing... extra images in the back are nice.

Summary: Out of foucs - Foundation needs glasses
Comment: The previous calendar was, well, a work of true art! However, in this version, Foundation has added, haze, fog, blurriness, black & white . . anything to hide the true beauty. Only the picture for Jan 2002 is fantastic.
Not only that, Foundation messed up on the Galaxy class ship in the center fold out. It was labeled Challenger but someone forgot to delete the "enterprise" name & registry from the rest of the picture.
I sure hope they fix their problems. This calendar is a "pass" in my book.
