A Must Have (2009-01-07)

This book is absolutely heavenly! I had coveted it from my local library for as long as I possibly could before I had to return it. When I got the chance to buy it, I instantly clicked it up! Don't miss out on this one. You'll get hours and hours of reading pleasure!

Lovely (2007-12-19)

I agree with the previous reviewer and I probably won't use it because it's just too nice. I also bought the pocket sized one. A must for any dedicated follower of fashion!

So beautiful, you'll want to buy two - one to work with, one to keep (2007-11-22)

This lovely desk-size 2008 diary is actually a companion to the spectacular book "The Golden Age of Couture" (edited by Claire Wilcox), which is itself a companion to the Victoria and Albert Museum's 2007-08 exhibit on the fashions of the decade from 1947 to 1957. As such, the chief attraction here is nearly a hundred photos and illustrations, in mixed color and B&W, most of which don't appear in the book. You probably will want to buy two copies - one for your permanent library, one to scribble in. :) A pocket-size version, with many of the same pictures (but also with some different ones) is also available. If you can't afford the big book, by all means get this one!

A particularly stylish desk diary (2007-10-19)

The Victoria & Albert museum in London puts out two engagement diaries every year. There is a desk diary and a smaller purse sized diary. The desk diary is printed on beautiful quality stock. Each two page spread covers one week, with a good-sized blank space for each day. There are 2008 and 2009 calendars up front, an integrated bookmark and a couple of blank pages at the end of the diary for notes.

What really sets the V&A diaries apart is the quality of the photographs. Every year a different theme is chosen from the V&A's vast collection: recent themes have included Middle Eastern Art and details of vintage fabrics. The photographs are always beautifully composed and pleasingly varied.

The theme for this year's diary is "The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947-1957" and it makes full use of the extensive couture clothing collection held by the museum. Illustrations include fashion photography from the 40s and 50s, catwalk sketches, advertisements and detailed photographs of dresses, hats, shoes and jewellery from the V&A collection. Designers who are featured include (but are not limited to) Balmain, Dior, Worth, Chaumont, Desses, Cavanagh and Fath.

This would be an excellent gift for anyone who has an interest in photography or fashion - or just culture in general. It does a beautiful job of capturing a golden decade of high glamor.

Very Good Service (2009-02-05)

This is the second year I've ordered this calendar and it has come both times within just a few days, and in perfect condition.

Disappointed in Cheap Cover (2009-01-08)

As usual, love the art work - however, the cheap flimsy cover was such a disppointment. I have gotten this calendar for several years and was very sorry to find the hard-back cover has been replaced.

Great art, flimsy covers (2009-01-06)

I bought this for 2008 and I loved it so I ordered the 2009 edition. The art is still great (I love Rodrigue!), but I was very disappointed in the book covers. The 2008 edition had very stiff covers that really took a beating. The 2009 edition has soft covers that will easily be damaged.

WOW! The best year yet! (2008-12-24)

This is the best year yet. The softcover makes it easy to use. You can take this calendar anywhere with you. The pictures are fantastic! These colors and backgrounds are some of his most stunning. It's fantastic. Even though I love his work, I expected it would get a little repetitive or boring, but it's not! The pictures are inventive, emotional and thrilling.

cajun blue (2008-12-06)

This is probably the tenth year or so that we've bought a Blue Dog calendar. I love the art work. I've actually taken some of the prints from old calendars for framing.

The Blue Dog makes me feel good!

blues power (2008-01-18)

Richly textured drawings in the Crumb style. I've always loved his obsessive pen and ink technique, but it' nice to see him tackle new subject matter--the Blues. Features lesser known blues musicians, like Charley Patton and Johnny Dodds. And the April illustration of Memphis Minnie really rocks! Just one question: where's Skip James?

Perfect for the avid angler, it's a year of gorgeous, breathtakingly realistic portraits of North American trout by acclaimed nature artist Joseph Tomelleri. His distinctive style is noted for the lifelike colors and exquisite detail he achieves, from the silvery Arctic grayling to a vividly hued Goose Lake redband trout to a beautiful spawning Dolly Varden. Accompanying each month's illustration is detailed information about the featured fish, including a natural history, color range map, and hatch charts of mayflies and caddis flies.

Trout Calendar (2008-07-08)

Great illustrations of different trout for every month, and a little info provided with each one.

Best present (2007-11-10)

I buy this calendar for my dad every year. I know calendars can be a cheesy gift but he loves this one. He hangs it in his office and he says it reminds him of his favorite hobby, trout fishing.

Trout Calendar Supreme (2007-10-23)

As a Trout fisherman, I don't need a calendar with pretty fly fishing scenes, I can see pretty scenes any time I desire. I want a pretty calendar that educates. This is the one! This is and has always been in the past, the best of its type.
