I bought a Jill Bliss calendar from Otsu for 2006 and I adore it! The quality is great, and their customer service was excellent. They even sent extra goodies along like stickers, and a small pad of paper. Everytime I read of an artist having used them for printing – they always have such great things to say. I really love thier products and I like hearing how well they treat artists.
