You will have to search far and wide to find a Yearly Academic/Office Planner that is comparable to The Lemome Academic/Weekly Planner, in my opinion. For starters, the paper....oh, the paper. This is high quality, premium (125 gsm) textured paper. The Planner has the "feel" of a high priced Journal or something; I have owned many Planners, in my day(s), and have yet to come across one that boasts "heavy" paper, as the Lemome Planner. The Faux Leather (mine is Black) has a classic, clean look and is aesthetically pleasing.
The actual "Planner" (why we buy these things) is compact and "efficient" (if you will). Plenty of writing space for daily tasks, errands, et. al. Like most Planners, it has a "Quick Reference/Emergency" Page, a 2018/2019 Yearly Overview Page and a Major Holiday Page (utilizes a Column to list out Holidays and Dates for 2018, 2019 and 2020 (useful if your day-in-day out activity involves, well, "Planning" - I am a Small Business Owner who lives/dies by Holiday Traffic, so it will be extremely useful for me....Google Search(es) Goodbye!). The back page contains a United States Map (listing each State Capital and U.S. Time Zones). I have not counted but there must be between 50-60 blank pages for Notes, Reminders, etc. once you reach December 31, 2018; you could seriously utilize this (if you are not long-winded) as a daily journal (although the Manufacturer makes no claim of it being anything short of an A5), so that is nice perk, if you are into journal writing. But if you "are" into journal (not Novel) writing, you will absolutely love this gem.
As for the Calendar, Monday - Wednesday occupy the left side of the Planner and Thursday - Sunday occupy the right side (Weekly). The Planner will lay flat (180 degrees) with ease, which is a huge perk, for my needs. Again, the pages are thick and high quality and my Pilot (V7 Precise) Fine/Rolling Ball Point Pen really "likes" this; smooth sailing, no smearing, mess, etc. There is also a pen loop which easily holds two of my V7's. There are two page markers/book marks which allow you to "hold" multiple spots, if need be.
Long story short, this is a simple, clean and high quality Yearly Planner. For in/around $20, you will not find anything remotely close to outshining the Lemome Planner (and it's a Classic A5). I seriously cannot understand why anyone would "not" like this Planner, if what you need is something compact, convenient and doesn't cost a fortune. This is my first purchase of "Lemome" anything and have probably not submitted an Amazon Review in five (5) years but this product needs to be owned/utilized by the masses (that need it); I am confident, once /if you try this Planner, you will look no further come 2019, when looking for the same, I know I will not! A Lemome Man, I am. Sold!
