"The Mystic's Wheel of the Year" Multifaith Calendar, is an excellent concept--a calendar that is crosscultural and open in its observances. Moreover, the calendar is filled with useful information not presented in this manner elsewhere. The problem with the calendar (quite a huge problem) is the layout. The calendar is jam packed with information, crammed together in a tiny font, single spaced, with no visual breaks. Only the most dedicate reader with 20/20 vision will be able and willing to decipher the text of this calendar. This calendar is all about the text so having a readable layout it critical to it being of any use. Moreover, the photographs are not in full color but rather one color. This makes for a bland if not boring presentation of otherwise intriguing imagery. Based on concept alone I went ahead and bought several of these calendars as gifts but before the year was over I threw mine away since I can't read it. My advice to the publisher is to realize that calendars are visual and not just informative. Go ahead and spring for an art director or a freelance graphic designer, then your calendar will be able to reach all of the people it should.
