I really like these twelve colorful little notebooks, one for each month, with ruled pages for each day.  I'm much more likely to use these books as diary and place to record info than a planner.  Though there are little two-year calendars in each notebook, with a line for day where you can write something, I think people who are really into planning and scheduling would prefer a planner that covers the whole year.  If you jot a March appointment in your January notebook you are going to need to rewrite the info into the book for March, and that's sort of a pain.  The twelve soft covered, multicolored notebooks fit into a hard backed holder and look quite pretty.  I like the brighter colors particularly, could have done without the gray for December, but the overall effect works when they are all in the holder.  You can wind up with an attractive looking record of your year.
