As fans of Downton Abbey, we were happy to see a 2013 engagement calendar featuring the popular series. The photos and quotes are great; the calendar format is the type of week-at-a-glance we like; the calendar numbers and print are nice and large. We were pleased it is a spiral bound book, which was not depicted in the ad. We will enjoy this calendar througout the coming year.
In the past I've gifted National Geographic Engagement calendars to my family members for Christmas, but this year I was a bit late and they didn't offer these any longer, so I muttered an expletive and turned to for my calendar gift ideas. And there it was, a genuine Downton Abbey 2013 Engagement Calendar! It offers high-quality images, a new one for each week, of your favorite actors from that most acclaimed series. My family will be delighted to use these in the coming year; a reminder of those classy, and inventive Brits, who seem to have it hand over fist in the theatrical department when compared to our dung-dispensing Hollywood sleaze-masters. Next year I'll also be looking for an "Upstairs, Downstairs" calendar; especially after the demise of my most favorite character, Lady Percy (I'm in mourning). If you want to open the doors to classy British theatrical productions, delight your family and friends with one of these; your gifts will get rave reviews!
The calendar was exactly what I wanted to provide a brief record of my activities and expenditures combined with pictures and dialogue of memorable incidents from the miniseries.
This is a beautiful engagement calendar with so many more photos from the series than I ever expected. And there are little quotes from the series and a list of the cast (as well as an overall view of 2012, 2013 and 2014 and a couple of pages for notes. The reviewer who mentioned this as "spiral bound" was very helpful, as that is very important to me in a desk calendar. Be aware that the weekly dates begin with Monday. The dates are very large, which I also find beneficial. I purchased this as a gift for a friend who is a fan like me. And I liked it so much I ordered one for myself!
All those who love the Downton Abbey series will want a copy of this engagement calendar. It is filled with photos of the actors and scenery from this program. The spaces on the weekly diary pages are large enough to accommodate appointment entries--or journal thoughts if that is preferred. A nice complement are the full-year calendar and notes area that allows plenty of room for additional planning and contact information. The spiral binding adds to the flexibility of using this delightful addition to the world of engagement calendars.
This engagement calendar does contain lots of richly-colored pictures of every Downton character you could think of, humorous and inspiring quotations from the show, and historical tidbits about upstairs/downstairs divisions, the war, fox hunting, etc. The pictures are extremely attractive. My one complaint is that it does not have a hard cover or plastic cover to provide stiffness and protection. Overall I am still pleased with my purchase.
I love this calendar. It's great quality. Heavy spiral binding, good quality paper and beautiful color print and photos. I like all the memorable quotes and beautiful photos. I loved that the first page has one of my favorite quotes. "What is a weekend?" :)
I buy a desk calendar each year, and this year I purchased this one. I always look for spiral-bound calendars with room to write appointments by each date, and this one fit the bill. It contains beautiful photos from Downton Abbey, as well as funny quotes from the characters. I am pleased with my purchase, and I would recommend.
