Having begun purchasing National Gallery of Art Engagement Calendars from Universe in 2002, the 2006 edition is my choice again for the 5th year in a row! This elegant product features 56 handsomely printed details of masterpieces from the collection of the Washington DC National Gallery of Art -- one for each week of the year. The approximately 6.5" by 9" format is the perfect size -- neither too small nor too large. When opened to a particular week, there is a space for each day's agenda -- Monday thru Sunday -- on one page and a superbly reproduced detail of a work of art on the facing page. For art devotees as well as others I heartily recommend this beautifully executed publication.

This calendar has a new masterpiece for every turn of the page unlike some art engagement calendars (especially the ones with frosted covers). The reproductions are done so well that I have visited DC and the NGA specifically to pick up a print based on what I've seen in past editions. FYI: Order early because these engagement calendars sell out EVERY YEAR! I've been caught out more than once, so fair warning. You will never find these calendars at half price after New Year's!

I have purchased this calendar for many years, and order early online to assure earliest delivery. The paper accepts pencil and ink and erases cleanly. Each day has adequate room for appointments and ample margins for numerous, extra "notes to self". Blank inside covers are great places to post frequently used phone numbers. Fits in my purse for meetings. Pages turn easily and stay open. A high quality, matte photo of beautiful art each time you turn the page.
