The pocket weekly is indeed terrific.

I wonder what’s what with Kikkerland’s distribution. I posted a long review of (or really, a love song to) the pocket weekly on my blog on July 9. I saw the datebooks in bookstores in IL, MA, NJ, and NY all through July. But it was only in the past couple of weeks that I received the e-mail announcement from Kikkerland. What’s up with their distribution?

You know, that’s funny — I’ve been doing the opposite. Consolidating all my calendars into one ‘RD’ calendar (not counting subscribed or automatic ones, like my Dodgers schedule). I came to the conclusion that all that ‘event filing’ was just useless. :) (Filing Away)

I (just now) seriously considered switching from my Week-at-a-Glance pocket appointment book to the lovely Moleskine one, even though it’s a half-inch bigger each way, but then I noticed that the month names are on the insides of the pages (near the spine), not on the outside corners. Very inconvenient.

Am I the only one who preferred the column format for the Pocket Weekly? I’m grief-stricken by the new row format. Much less useful for listing several time-specific events throughout the day.

Like Abie, I preferred the column format for the Pocket Weekly - same reason.

I bought a Large Weekly and a Pocket Daily about a month ago at MoleskineUS.com. Another great moleskine experience with those folks. Does Kikkerland sell online?

Look out for the Feltrinelli special edition (may only be available in Italy) which is a red moleskine. It has a week down one side and a lined page for notes on the RH-side. Dates from August 2005 - December 2006. I’ll post pictures on flickr once I’ve got my computer back (in for repair at the mo).

BTW: my diary hack is to cut the bottom outside corner off pages which are past so that you can go straight to today.

I totally dig the horizontal format, and am very glad indeed that they’ve switched back - although I’ve been using the large daily desk calendar this year quite happily as a combination calendar and paper tickler file.
