This is my third year purchasing the same calendar.

I started with the 2007, and am currently using the 2008. I liked it so much that I have purchased the 2009 calendar as well. The pictures in the 2008 calendar and the 2007 calendar are different and lovely. However, I prefer the 2007 calendar pictures above the 2008 and 2009 pictures. Still, that's just me quibbling, it doesn't make this calendar any less worthwhile to own.

I remain very impressed that this calendar lists not only federal holidays and Christian holidays, but also holidays of the Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, and Wiccan faiths. Phases of the moon are noted as well. This information is not typically noted on other calendars (I've made special effort to track them down or request them, to no avail).

About the calendar format: paper quality is good, and there is enough room for those of us who enjoy using the calendar as a datebook. There is plenty of room to scribble in information on what you need to get done that day. You will not regret purchasing this calendar.

One note: I am not certain why this calendar does not ship directly from Amazon.com, as it did in past years. Hopefully, that will be changing as we move closer to the end of the year. Paying $8 shipping on a $15 calendar is a stupid idea. Much better to get the free Amazon shipping by purchasing more stuff to bring the total to $25.

My husband is an Art Wolfe fan. He was excited to have a calendar for his office. The pictures were bright and amazing as always.

I purchased 2 of these as gifts - and I might get another for myself. Many calendars seem to have a great cover picture, but when you get them home you often find many of the images inside are simply not as good as the one on the cover, and the purchase can turn into a disappointment. Not so with this calendar - all the images are great, and there won't be a single month I'd not enjoy seeing on the wall.
