For three years running, this calendar has served me well. One month spans two oversized pages and focuses on a particular region in France. Wells' text is brief but charming. The cover accurately illustrates the typical assortment of Rothfeld's photographs - in size, number, and breadth of topic - that adorn each and every month. Still, Workman's calendars allot generous room each day for noting appointments, recitals, and what have you. Holidays span US, UK, Canada, Australia along with major Christian and Hebrew holy days. One star off for the lack of moon phases, still missing in the sample pages.

Beautiful photography. Each one a stand alone beauty. Adequate space for reminders. The creators of this calendar show their love for France on each beautiful page.

I have the 2002 edition of this calendar. The first calendar that I purchased was missing the month of May and had an additional month of April inserted in between the months of June and July. Other months were also inserted upside-down. Consequently, I returned this calendar to the store and was given another. I do not like the calendar. It frequently gives the wrong day of the week with the date (ex. it said today was Monday when it is actually Friday!). It also continuely reuses the same pictures. They are simply varied slightly -- ie, distance from subject varies, same shot at different time of day, same picture with slightly different shadows; I sure you get the idea. If the 2002 edition is any indication, I would not buy this calendar as it is of extremely POOR quality!
