The Lonely Planet Calendar remains a visual treat and perennial source of inspiration for trekkers and armchair adventurers alike. Every month presents an exhilarating new destination, and every day a striking new photograph.

All year long, it's the world as it really lives.

This review is from: The Lonely Planet Wall Calendar 2004 (Lonely Planet National Park Guides) (Calendar)

This calendar is the width of a normal calendar, but a bit taller. It's 14" tall, which means that it opens up to a 28" long hanging space on the wall. Be sure you have room before you order it. The calendar has one large photo for each month (which is about half the size of a regular calendar's photo), and also a small photo for each day. The squares to write appointments are at least 50% larger than on a normal calendar. The photos are really great. Another feature is that on each new opened page (for each month), all of the photos for that month come from a specific country. For the following month, all the photos are from another country, and so on.

There is only one drawback to this calendar, which is why I am only giving it four stars. In our case, we often look at a wall calendar from across the room, anywhere from 8-15 feet away, so all of the beautiful photos are too small to see. I recommend you buy this calendar if you will be placing it in a place where you will normally be seeing it from 3 feet or closer. If you will normally be further away, buy another style of calendar with one large photo.

They have really done an excellent job on this calendar, and it is printed on really beautiful, high-gloss paper. It would make a WONDERFUL gift for anyone who loves to travel (like me), especially since the scenes come from all over the world!
