1.0 out of 5 stars Different Format, September 25, 2007

I really like the Lonely Planet wall calendars and look forward to getting them every year. However, this calendar is NOT in the picture-a-day format that previous ones have been. It's just one big picture with description, a small map, and 3 small pictures. I hope they will publish another calendar in the picture-a-day format that is so interesting to see. Find a way to look at the back to see if you like the pictures before you buy this calendar. I returned mine.

1.0 out of 5 stars a rather ordinary calendar and a let-down after LP calendars for previous years, November 19, 2007

I've bought the Lonely Planet Picture-a-Day calendars for the past two years, and having shown them to friends (everybody loved them), a friend of mine bought the 2008 edition for me. I am severely disappointed with it. This is not a Picture-a-Day calendar, which is really what made previous editions the only calendar I ever wanted to buy again and again. This calendar features one large photo per month, with 2-5 additional small photos at the top and bottom of the pages. Some formatting is similar to that of previous Picture-a-Day calendars: each month includes a short description of the country, a regional map to locate it and photo captions. However, the captions for the photos are somewhat trite, in my opinion, compared to the more concise, matter-of-fact, non-opinionated captions in the previous picture-a-day calendars. My guess is that Lonely Planet is no longer making calendars through Workman Publishing (the company that does the picture-a-day calendars). If Lonely Planet does not publish a Picture-a-Day calendar for 2008, I will probably purchase the mega-marketed "1000 places to see before you die" picture-a-day calendar for 2008.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, October 3, 2007

Having not seen this year's calendar it is likely that what I do not appreciate about this upcoming year's calendar may also not be in that one. The 2006 calendar has a photo on each day of every month. The 2008 calendar is ordinary - a large monthly photo and that's about it. I was and am very disappointed in this change.
