I get this calendar every year. Had been ordering it from W W Norton for years until I found it on 3 or 4 years ago for a better price. The pictures are especially good for sending me off into tropical dreamland when it gets cold and rainy in winter. Indulge your fantasy. Get one.
I have been purchasing this calendar for my husband each year for probably over a decade. The photos are consistently great each year. I love the very accurate "faded map" which appears (under the calendar grid) for the location of each month's photo. This wall calendar would be a pleasant, decorative addition to any room - and particularly for lovers of sailing or boating of any sort.
I've been buying this calendar every year for eight years or more. The pictures take me out of my cube and to the wide open world every time I look up at it. The calendar has a map of the ocean around the spot that the picture was taken. Between the pitcture and the map, you really are transported to a different place.
I order this calendar for my husband every year. It is beautiful and we are sailors. There is always one or two pictures in the calendar of places we have actually been. And it lets us dream about places we would like to go.
I love the maps behind the photos showing where in the world the boat was sailing when the picture was taken, along with the topographic points of interest. Beautiful photography of weather, sea, terrain and boats. Ideal to give to a sailor or someone who simply loves sailing or the sea. Look forward to receiving mine each year!
I have bought this calendar every year for 5 years for my husband and his sailing buddy. The photos are beautiful and relaxing to look at even if you aren't a sailor. Makes a great gift. Always quick delivery.
But paper seems flimsier and just not the quality of previous issues. It seems eight more words are required to make it an official review. So, here goes, it seems cheap, not impressive, lacking in general substance.
I put this calendar up in my office, so actually reference it often ... normally just to glance up however, 2 things make this calendar annoying:1) They have an map image behind the monthly calendar in a fairly bold font, making it hard to actually read the dates on the calendar2) They don't show the next or previous month (a pretty common feature of a calendar), so if I'm at the end of a month and want to glance to see the next month, I actually have to turn over to the next pageI know, these seem trivial, but if you plan to actually use this calendar for a 'quick reference', then these things greatly diminish it's utility. I previously had 'Sail' magazine calendar and it did not suffer from these deficiencies in design > utility.
