Ansel Adams 2009 Wall Calendar publisher: ART released: 2008-08-01 ISBN: 0316008338 $12.91

The latest edition of the Ansel Adams wall calendar reproduces, in impeccably printed duotone, thirteen breathtaking images by the master photographer, chosen to reflect the changing seasons. With a mix of well-known and less familiar photographs of the American West, this splendid calendar will delight loyal fans of the previous twenty-four calendars, as well as attract new buyers.

This calendar is a must have for Ansel Adams fans and anyone who enjoys displaying and viewing great outdoors B&W photography. I highly recommend this item.

I purchase this wall calendar every year. Ansel Adams is my favorite black/white photographer and I enjoy photography myself, as a hobby- The photos are stunning. I look forward to the beginning of each month so I can see what the next masterpiece will look like. There is plenty of room to fill in all your apppointments-All-around great calendar!

This is an outstandong calendar that my daughter asks for and gets from us at Christmas. Over the past two years our UK book stores stopped stocking it. That's where Amazon comes in..........ordered, and delivered well before estimated delivery time from America via Germany AND even with post & packing charges it was cheaper than walking into a book store in the UK. This is where buying on the web with reputable companies score....door to door service.

Every year at Christmas time we give an Adams wall calendar to a daughter who is a wonderful photographer and a nature lover. One year we decided maybe it was time to stop doing that, and we heard about it! I'm glad you carry it, because it is not as easily available elsewhere as it used to be.

I've always had a great appreciation for Black & White photography. Of all the Famous B&W photographers Ansel Adams is my favorite. The photographs, as always with these calendars, are breathtaking. One of the nicest things about this calendar is that after the year is over the images are of high enough quality to frame and hang on the wall. You won't regret this purchase!

Sierra Club 2009 Wilderness Calendar by: Sierra Club publisher: Scenic released: 2008-07-22 ISBN: 0307406024 $10.36

Sierra Club Wall Calendar: The very popular Sierra Club Wilderness, an oversized wall calendar, contains gorgeous photographs of the North American landscape. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this calendar goes to support the efforts of the Sierra Club to preserve and protect our environment.

Many years ago, I made the 'mistake' of giving my sisters each a copy of the Sierra Club Wilderness Calendar for Christmas. I did the same thing the following year. The year after that, thinking they had to be getting bored with the calendars, I gave them something different. But they did not want anything different... they wanted the calendars!

So here I am, quite a few years later, still giving each of my three sisters a Wilderness calendar every Christmas.

Having said that, the calendars are always spectacular. The views are exceptional, and photographed well with top-quality cameras. The pictures are printed large and beautiful on very good quality paper.

You won't go wrong with one of these calendars.

Oh, yes - the calendars come packaged in a nice mailer. Just add postage and a couple of addresses and it's ready to mail to your sister in Florida - or anywhere else for that matter.

My best friend and I buy this for each other every year, we kind of race to this and then tell the other "don't buy the M.E. calendar this year, I already did!" Last year we didn't and I missed it.

Understand we're not the hokey sentimentals (I don't think) but it's just nice to have a nicely detailed print with a quotation.

Mary Engelbreit's Each Day Is A Gift: 2009 Desk Calendar by: Mary Engelbreit publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing released: 2008-07-01 ISBN: 0740772821 $10.39

People magazine has dubbed Mary Engelbreit a Norman Rockwell for our times. For 2009, let Mary Engelbreit's calendar brighten your day, every day.

Each day is a gift; all we have to do is untie the ribbons. Whether it's watching a sunset, spending time with family, catching up with a friend, or simply enjoying quiet time at home, Mary Engelbreit's calendar, Each Day Is a Gift, helps us realize that even the simplest moments should be cherished. This new, family-friendly version offers plenty of planning space and weekly calendar grids to keep busy schedules organized. Flip to the back, and you'll find space for recording birthdays and anniversaries, names and numbers, babysitters, children's friends, services, restaurants, notes, even emergency contacts. The pocket in the back allows you to store appointment cards, invitations, photos, or whatever you wish.

So disappointed to learn the month at a glance section was discontinued in this year's calendar. I've been buying this calendar for the last 5 or 6 years. I found it to be the most complete desktop calendar because of all the features. Sad to say I will look for another calendar for 2009.

I love Mary Englebreit's Calendars and get them every year. They are so colorful and her sayings are enlightening.

Space for writing appointments is 1/2 the size compared to all previous years. It does not meet my needs. Very disappointing... This will become a holiday gift instead of my desk personal calendar. Illustrations, as always, are beautiful.

I have purchased many of Mary Engelbreit's calendars for gifts and this is the best one she has put out

I've been ordering Mary's desk calendar for the past seven years. The main reason for this is the large "month at a glance" section in the beginning of the calendar--sort of a mini wall calendar included just before the day-to-day section. I write a LOT in the little boxes for each date of each month, and it keeps me prepped for what's going on all month.

My 2009 edition just arrived and the "month at a glance" section is not included this year. I was surprised. Instead, new sections were added at the end for "Babysitters" and "Children's Friends."

The 2009 edition is cheerful, friendly, and colorful, but I'm going to have to buy another desk calendar to keep my "month at a glance" items clear.

Art Of Charley Harper 2009 Wall Calendar by: Charley Harper publisher: Pomegranate released: 2008-06-01 ISBN: 0764943928 $13.99

Minimal realism was how wildlife artist Charley Harper defined his style. I don t count feathers, he said, I just count the wings. Born in rural West Virginia, Harper (1922 2007) developed an unmistakable style, capturing an animal s essence with geometric shapes and vivid colors. His work has been featured in many publications, including the two books from which this calendar s twelve images are selected: Beguiled by the Wild (1994) and Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life (2007).

Size: 13 x 12 in.; opens to 13 x 24 in.

A sweet calendar, bright & colorful, amusing, perfect for kids, artist-types, teachers - but the copies I purchased thru Amazon all arrived damaged and there were no more in stock - boo-hoo! Back to shopping...

I hadn't heard of Charley Harper before searching for wall calendars on Amazon and went out on a limb by purchasing this design. I'm so glad I did! My two year old loved looking at the pictures when we received the calendar and I'm sure they will be just as engaging as we flip through them in the coming year.

Love his art and was very excited to have a full sized calendar of his pictures.

I love all of the illustrations! If you enjoy Harper, you will most likely relish this calendars wonderful and well chosen animal art. I will enjoy flipping the page every month to see my new artwork. And the price is right! Absolutely perfect gift for a Harper fan, graphic design enthusiast or animal lover.

Most beautiful calendar ever. I love Charley Harper and was worried this would be somehow disappointing, but it's perfect. The editors selected some of Harper's loveliest images, and I'm utterly satisfied. Full of whimsy and color and charm. Buy twenty and be a hero to your friends and neighbors.
