Kar-Ben Copies makes a Jewish Calendar Repro Pack for each year, and
they always are one year ahead for advance planning.  Very useful!

I suggest that you invest in the Spier "Comprehensive Calendar" book
for 1900 - 2001 (or something like that).  The book is a series of
parallel secular and Jewish calendars with the Torah readings listed
for each week.  There is even a table of exceptional readings.

Behrman House has published an 8.5" x 11" thin paperback of computer
printout which does the same thing, but I find the old Spier book
much easier to use.  He has updated it to at least the end of the
21st century; I doubt any of us need dates any further ahead than
that.  The earlier editions go back to the end of the 19th century,
which helps in finding Yahrtzeit dates.
