Diary Industry
I have a lot of electronic gizmos with calendars but still like diaries.
As 2014 approaches I have been looking at what's about.
Here are my top picks:
1. Brepols Chambord Weekly Vertical Diary:
Brepols dates its history back to Belgium, 1796 and continues to draw upon and add to its rich history of paper, print and planning! Their collection of 2014 diaries is inspired by classic playing card designs.
Black, Thread bound and classic, love that off white paper and perforation.
3. Field Notes 18 month work station calendar.
The new edition of these beefy, chipboard-backed, tear-off 18-Month Workstation Calendar, is 6″ x 9″ and will fit perfectly next to the bookshelf, or in the garage hanging above the air compressor, or in an office cubicle, or by that screen door at the summer place that makes such a racket when it slams shut. I couldnt have said it better myself.
Great for knowing when the Bentley needs it WOF.
