I get the same Lang pocket calendar "every" year. This is a well made product and it comes with an outer sleeve that keeps it from getting tore up in my purse. The paper quality is good and smooth to write on. Very wet markers or pend (or white-out) needs to dry a few seconds or it will transfer to the other page when closed. And for me personally, I like very much that it's few holiday pictures are not over-the-top, over-cute, or distracting from what I'm using the calendar for.
