This review is from: Mary Engelbreit's Breit Days: 2008 Pocket Purse Calendar (Calendar)

This calendar presents each week on a two-page spread. Each day gets a 3 inch by 1.5 inch area.
It has 3 years at a glance in the front, and in the back it has a 2-page spread for the upcoming year with each month getting 3 lines; anniversaries & birthdays the same; 4 pages for names & numbers; 2 pages for gift ideas; a page for zodiac signs and birth stones, a tip card, and 2 pages for notes. A rubber band from the back cover can be looped around the front to keep it closed.
The pages of this calendar are thick, the binding is very sturdy: the signatures are actually sewn. The cover is tough with no signs of cracking or scuffing and very minimal edge wear. After 3 months of carrying around in a purse, it looks practically new.
The paper is not absorbent, which is good because ink won't bleed, but it also sits on the surface for a while without drying and is apt to smear. I chose a Pigma Micron pen after trying a Pentel Needle Tip. You may want to test some pens in an inconspicuous place in the book.
I'll see how I feel about how I'm using it in December, and if I continue with the project, I'll buy another one for next year.

This was a great calendar. I used it all last year and I also used the 2007 one faithfully. I loved the rubber band, I could put coupons and other free papers in and they would stay put. I am disappointed that 2009 isn't exactly the same.
