Office Books

This is the best style manual for advertising copywriters on the market. There may be a new edition that supercedes this one by the time you read this. if so, I would buy it without reservation. I find myself reaching for this time and again when I write. Highly recommended.

bought this copy for my daughter. she wishes she'd had it years earlier. loves it.

I retired a few years ago and wish that I had taken my Gregg Reference Manual with me as a "parting gift." I used to take calls from people regarding grammar questions. Little did they know I would grab this book and easily page to the correct answer. I impressed many people over the years; and then, of course, the answers became second nature to me. I have recommended this book many times and finally am going to purchase my own copy for home. It is a good book just to read. Absolutely EVERYTHING is in there.

I am an independent corporate trainer who teaches people to write better at work. When my students ask me for my advice about good books to guide them as they write at work, this is the reference book I recommend.

I also tell them several other things about the book. First, this is not just some handbook that secretaries can use to look up how to format a letter. It is an authoritative reference for all aspects of writing English. It should be next to the dictionary and thesaurus on the shelf of everyone who needs to write at work, from clerks to executives. Second, if your boss or anyone else argues with you about any rule of writing, you only have to point to the relevant entry in this book. All arguments stop there. Third, the size of the book is deceptive. It uses small font and thin paper. With normal font and paper, it would be the size of two or three large dictionaries. That's how much useful stuff is packed in this book.

It takes a while to get used to how the information in the book is formatted, but it is well worth the effort. All entries in the index include page numbers as well as topic numbers, which they call "rules." The book is logically structured around these rules, and it makes related topics easy to find.

I rated this book 5 stars because I think it is superior in all categories for a reference book: comprehensive content, abundant examples, thorough index, authoritative author, and reasonable price.

As a business education teacher, I highly recommend this reference manual to anyone entering the secretarial field. It provides a complete source for answering questions concerning grammar, punctuation, English usage, etc. The well-done index allows easy access to the needed information. It is an absolute MUST for office employees. Eva Lewis, El Cajon, CA

This inspiring book is a must for all recruiters who understand the leverage power of online sourcing and networking.

As its subtitle suggests, The Virtual Handshake is all about interfacing with business and social contacts through the worldwide web. In my field (recruiting), the lines between business and social contacts blur since everyone I encounter might need either a new job or project, might know someone who does, or might be in a position to hire. Networking is not just about pressing flesh and passing business cards at a luncheon these days. There is a rapidly growing area of opportunity to meet people and make deals on the internet. However, please note that The Virtual Handshake does not merely expound the virtues of the internet or report results of deals closed and marriages made, the authors also make the technologies easy to understand and provide practical advice on how to use what's out there. Published in 2005, the book provides current information on various virtual options and their uses. The authors cover topic such as social software and services online; virtual clubs and associations; tips on managing the deluge of email; basics on blogging; effective use of email blasts without being perceived as a spammer; netiquette; privacy protection; and, of course, real-life examples of the use of the virtual medium. Easy to read and very useful, The Virtual Handshake is a primer for those of us who haven't been hip to the virtual world that's out there. It made me wonder if I've been living under a rock! The good news is it's not too late to learn, and this book will definitely help. I was so inspired by this book that I boldly went out there into the virtual world and set up my own blogsite!

How to make sense of social network technology? This book talks about technology as well as the human aspects of networking. There is nothing wrong in the description, but the authors don't have any viewpoint. They have just surveyed the area and written a bunch of chapters. I would like to be told what kind of technologies work and doesn't work. If it is too early to tell, I would like a really smart author tell me something surprising. Otherwise I don't want to waste my time.

If you haven't read anything on social networks and want a non-technical, very easy read, then this book is for you. Otherwise there is no value-add.

The world is changing and so is business. The Internet, and various "Web 2.0" technologies, for lack of a better (or even good) name, are rapidly becoming an integral part of business and life.

The Virtual Handshake doesn't attempt to get you entirely up to date -- that's impossible, but up to speed -- that's far more valuable.

If you don't have any trusted colleagues you've never met in person or maybe not even talked to over the phone, you need this book. Even if you've spent a quarter of a century online like I have, you need this book. I learned a lot, and still refer to this book often. (If your secretary reads your email to you and you dictate answers, I suggest you retire or read this book ASAP.- You need help catching up).

After reading The Virtual Handshake, and I strongly suggest you do, you'll understand the basics, importance, and success guidelines of social software. You'll be up to speed in perhaps the most critical area of business change in our lifetime. The CURRENT wave of the Internet, and probably more important than the original commercialization and popularization of the Internet.

Hey, what's more interesting, the Big Bang Theory or How Life Came About?? This is the "How Life Came About" part and you'll learn about things like virtual communities and social networking, but far more importantly,- you'll know what to do. Actual steps you should take --- and plenty of case studies to help you understand their importance. Guidelines to harness the power of these new whateveryoucallthem.

Hint: be yourself, act responsibly, and remember you are the same person both online and offline and don't forget it!

There is a lot of valuable information in this book. Plan to read it, enjoy it, and then study it. And plan on concrete benefits.

It's a rehash of common sense. Do not waste your time reading this book.

I've been a fan of the Cat Page-a-Day Calender for years now. It makes every morning worth waking up for! Even my own cat approves.

This collection of photos is beautiful and inspiring. I have it on my desk at work and get many compliments on the quality of the pictures. I love the quotes and sayings as well. If you love cats you will love this calendar!

We buy this calendar every year to give as Christmas presents for our cat-loving friends and family. We don't have to buy our own because my sister always give us one. We look forward to "Cat of the Day Time" when we turn to the new page. The photos are terrific.

This is a beautifully-made and beautifully-photographed calendar. I had the 2007 version and tried for some time to find a vendor who carried the 2008 version. It is cleverly constructed to show the first 6 months on one side of the pages and the other 6 months by flipping the pages over and putting them back in the plexiglass frame. I was very glad that Amazon carried the item, and at more than $5.00 off the retail suggested price. I hope they carry the future versions as well.

Love this calendar. I get one for my desk in my classroom every year.

"Francis A. Schaeffer, 1912-1984, will long be remembered as one of the intellectual and spiritual giants of this century.
His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages with more than 3 million copies in print.

The work of L'Abri Fellowship, founded by Dr. and Mrs. Schaeffer in 1955, is a living tribute, with branches in Switzerland, Holland, Sweden, and the U.S.

In a time of moral breakdown and brutal inhumanity, the works of Francis A. Schaeffer speak boldly in defense of the Bible as God's absolute truth and the sacred value of every human life."

"The books of Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer have marked a watershed in Christian thinking and have deeply affected a generation of readers.
Now, in this complete and FINAL EDITION OF DR. SCHAEFFER'S WORKS, all twenty-two of his books are included.

This five-volume set is the definitive edition of Dr. Schaeffer's books, each of which he updated and revised two years before his death.
A comprehensive index is included for easy access to the entire set.
Similarly, the set has been arranged so as to best follow Dr. Schaeffer's thought.

The Complete Works of Francis A. Schaeffer is an invaluable resource for students, ministers, for all who have read some of Dr. Schaeffer's books and want to know more---about the Christian faith, about the critical needs of the world today, about "the God who is there."
[from the books of the back cover]

Thank you all for your reviews. You have already said just about everything I would have said far more elegantly than I could have. About the only thing that I would add is that were it not for this man (his "How Should We Then Live" film series to be precise) I would not be a Christian today.

Dr. Schaeffer was the first man in my life who said (without words), "It's OK to be a devout Christian without getting lobotomized."

Prior to Schaeffer I backslid twice. After Schaeffer I have been steadfast and stable primarily because I developed a fully formed Christian World View and Reformed Theology. (30+ years and still going strong)

Then I discovered Edith Schaeffer and the "softer" side of my Christian faith began to bloom.

I owe a tremendous debt to Dr. and Mrs. Schaefer and can't recommend this particular imprint highly enough. If I could give it more than 5-Stars I would!

Here a list of Edith's work that will help you develop the "softer" of your Christian faith:

The Tapestry: The Life and Times of Francis and Edith Schaeffer

L'Abri

Christianity Is Jewish

Forever music

A Celebration of Marriage: Hopes and Realities

Affliction

P.S.
Personal note: My faith has even survived the onslaught of the Schaeffer's obnoxious, abrasive, loud-mouthed, narcissistic son! I thank God that Dr. and Mrs. Schaeffer also taught me how to put my faith in God not men. However, Franky's sad outcome is a constant reminder to me that ministry to the world must never, never, never supersede ministry to my family (which seems to be the take away lesson of Franky's book "Crazy for God" - as in, "Don't let your kids end up like Franky Schaeffer!")

I first encountered the books of Schaeffer in the mid 70s when I was a new Christian at the University of the Philippines. My cell group leader would often quote him. What I like about him then was he was able to explain the Christian faith in a rational and philosophical manner.

Reading again his "The God who is There" thirty years after brought these fond memories of him. I am privileged to renew my acquiantance with this intellectual giant.

A good friend who knew that I just bought Schaeffer's five volumes commented to me -- "Don't forget your wife and kids". Yes I intend to read the rest of the remaining 21 titles in the collection. This is my way of paying tribute to this great man. Mabuhay ka!

Francis Schaeffer pinpoints the problems of humanism and how they affect the 20th century. He give insights to the Christian to help him understand history and art and philosophy from a Biblical point of view. Schaeffer discerns the meaning and lack of meaning in the humanities for the bewildered secularized Christian.

Having recently reread many of the works of Francis Schaeffer, it seems right to list several lessons he can teach Bible-believing Christians (and others) today. Schaeffer was a prophetic generalist, pastor, apologist, and primarily an evangelist. That latter is how he typically explained himself.

1. Schaeffer had a passion for God and truth. This came out of his intellectual conversion as a teenager, after he read both classical Greek literature and the Bible, as well as from his intellectual crisis that hit him after over a decade of ministry. Having not see the reality of Christian love and the work of the Spirit, he questioned everything for several months, yet returned stronger, spiritually and mentally to the task.

2. Schaeffer cared deeply about the lostness of modern people. NonChristians were not "objects" for this man of God, but image-bearers of God who were hopeless apart from the gospel of Jesus Christ. When Schaeffer exegeted culture, he did so with an angle on how so much of culture reveals a lack of hope and meaning. In his apologetic conversations, Schaeffer would not cognitively spare with opponents, but try to lead souls to truth through love and reason--and not without tears, as he often said.

3. Schaeffer was an unapologetic generalist for the cause of Christ. He studied the areas he thought pertinent to ministry and the calling of the church in his day. While some wrongly took his judgments as the last word, they were almost always a vital first word and call to further study and prophetic engagement with the world under Christ.

4. Schaeffer was not a self-promoter, but sought God for life and ministry. The L'Abri ministry of apologetics, evangelism, and study in the Swiss Alps developed as Francis and Edit responded to the needs of questioning students. Later in his ministry, Schaeffer was sometimes promoted too heavily. This may have been the fault of his son, Franky, who produced the film series, "How Shall We Then Live?" and "Whatever Happened to the Human Race?" (Franky is a sad story. He went on to leave Protestantism for Orthodoxy and to write series of not-so-thinly disguised autobiographical/fictional works criticizing his parents and their religion.) Schaeffer never even planned to write books, but wrote when his lectures and discussion were so well received that books were requested.

5. Schaeffer loved the arts, could recognize aesthetic goodness even in nonChristian (or anti-Christian) art, and gave Christian artists permission and vision for artistic endeavor. On all of this see Art and the Bible, recently republished with a foreword by musician and author Michael Caird. He often spoke of bringing "beauty" into the Christian life.

6. Schaeffer had a deep knowledge of and love for Scripture. The Bible was a living reality for his man. He said in The God Who is There that we must be studying the Scriptures daily in order to present the truth to unbelievers. He himself read at least three chapters from the OT and one from the NT each day. His writings exude biblical truth and wisdom. Let us do likewise (Acts 17:11).

7. Schaeffer was "a man of the Reformation," who, nevertheless, was not doctrinaire or haughty about his Calvinism. Schaeffer realized that the Reformation was necessary and that we must remain "a reformed church always reforming." The Reformers, while hardly perfect, brought the Scripture back to its rightful centrality and also opened up social and cultural wonders for the West, as Schaeffer pointed out in How Shall We Then Live? and A Christian Manifesto. While Schaeffer believed in and taught The Westminster Standards, his appeal radiated far wider than Reformed and Presbyterian circles.

In a time when some, such as emergent author Brian McLaren, are calling us to be "post-Protestant," this means needs to be heard and headed. The Five Solas of the Reformation are not optional for Christianity, but are its life blood. Nevertheless, those who hold to the Five Points of Calvinism (the TULIP), as I do, should do so with conviction, but also humility. Five Pointers can and should work with Christians of other persuasions so long as the essential gospel is not compromised.

Therefore, let read and reread Francis Schaeffer. I suggest you purchase The Collected Works and work your way through them--for the glory of God, for the good of his church, and for the furtherance of the Kingdom. If you think you have "no time" to read, then make time. Eliminate distractions and immerse yourself in these books.

Maximum Influence is superior to any books written about influence! Kurt did a great job teaching influence in his book and Maximum Influence is not only a fun read, but is written in a way that makes it easy to apply the principles taught.

A very practical book that seems to have pretty well everything you would want to know about persuasion in one easy to read volume. He has 12 laws that make sense as well as a checklist to ensure you have the best chance to persuade your audience. Definitely a library keeper, especially if you are a salesperson, in marcomm, or a speaker/presenter. Lesson reinforced, information helps persuade, emotion sells the deal. The twelve power laws are:

Dissonance

Obligation

Connectivity

Social Validation

Scarcity

Verbal Packaging

Contrast

Expectations

Involvement

Esteem

Association

Balance

This book is fantastic, it not only explains the importance of each law but it also verbalises it in a way where it's very easy to understand

This is the best and most comprehensive work on human nature and mind dynamics I have read. A must read for any salesperson or any one interested in bringing out the best in people. A very easy read with numerous every day examples of the Laws in action. Simple tools for major improvements in our communicatian skills.

Here, in one place, is a consolidated list, with examples, of the major ways people are persuaded to change behavior.

This book is OK, but not great. The test is a combination of a personality and IQ test that is not all that useful. If you already know your Briggs Myers type and IQ score this test will add very little to what you already know. It's not as good as StrengthsFinder 2.0. But if you like spending money to take tests, it might be worth a try.

When I picked up "Succeed on Your Own Terms" I was expecting some gems of life experiences because the sub-title is "Lessons From Top Achievers Around the World on Developing Your Unique Potential." I was not disappointed as I found each short chapter to be bring me a very good example of how an individual used and demonstrated a personal characteristic or trait. The book is easy to read and you feel well connected to what happened. You don't have to dedicate a block of time to go through this one. You can read it little blocks at a time and it goes just fine. Definitely take the time to do the online evaluation. I found it to be very worthwhile. Enjoy!

In the business world, self-help books grow on trees. When you see through their poser disguise and words, you find the authors often got rich TALKING about how to do X, but they themselves didn't actually succeed at the particular field. This title is an exception, and filled with wisdom. Herb Greenberg is quite an authority, and his book speaks here volumes. It has dozens of great biographical stories dissecting the mental thought processes from people who overcame extraordinary odds to become overachievers. People from all walks of life.

It contains an efficient, possibly eye-opening test to define your strengths and areas that need a little push. Great stuff!

SUCCEED ON YOUR OWN TERMS by Herb Greenberg and Patrick Sweeney is a book I'll want to
revisit often, if just to again read the story of Mugsy Bogues--the
shortest NBA player of all time.

He is just one of the many accomplished individuals interviewed
by the authors . . . they also spoke to actor Ben Vereen, Senator
Barbara Boxer, architect Michael Graves, and a wide range
of others from a variety of fields.

In addition, they then conducted a comprehensive personality
assessment on each person, attempting to uncover the defining
qualities that made them unique . . . all totaled, they came
up with a total of 19 qualities--including such ones as optimism,
resilience, empathy, persuasiveness, courage, creativity, and
self-awareness.

I enjoyed the in-depth interviews, as well as the many tidbits
of information that were shared . . . among the many
that caught my attention were the following:

* If two people are climbing a mountain together, what is the
most important thing they need to get to the summit? Teamwork?
Cooperation? The right equipment? Training? All those things are
required. But what' most important is the mountain itself. You
must have a goal.

* Once, late at night, he was crying because the result from one of the
surgeries was worse than expected. Jose Luiz recalled, "An old man at
the hospital called me over and said, 'Boy, why do you cry? Look
around you. There are patients here who will only live a few days more.
Don't just sit here and cry. Go and see them. And see what happens.
Maybe you can help them by just being there.' It was a very simple
message, but it changed my life and I carry it with me."

* [Gov. John Corzine of New Jersey] "The simple answer is that
if I made another dollar, another hundred million dollars, or whatever,
it would not change any aspect of my life. I wouldn't feel better about
myself," he said.

Perhaps the most valuable part to SUCCEED ON YOUR OWN TERMS
was the offer that came with it . . . readers are offered the opportunity
to take a free, in-depth personality assessment that will then be
scored . . . the results can be used to discover unique potential and
strengths with the idea being that they can then help locate situations
that play to these natural abilities.

There is a lot to like about the book, SUCCEED ON YOUR OWN TERMS, by Herb Greenberg and Patrick Sweeney. This is one of the best "success" books of 2006. Greenberg and Sweeney of Caliper, an international consulting firm, share their findings from countless research interviews of successful people, many famous and familiar, many others you've probably never heard of, but all who have obtained a high level of achievement in their respective fields.

The book is presented in four parts and twenty-eight chapters. Part 1 introduces the authors and helps give an appropriate definition of "success" and how everyone's expectations of success are different.

IN Part 2, the reader finds individual profiles of people and how they have found success in their lives. This is some very interesting reading and really helps to illustrate the many facets of success. I would consider this chapter the "meat and potatoes" of the book.

Part 3, for me, fell a little short. It starts off in chapter 23 pretty well, giving yet further insight into personal obstacles of interviewees and what they learned from their respective journeys. Chapter 24 really becomes filler material and really detracted from the overall accomplishments of the work here, but the pace soon returns in Part 4, "Defining Moments, Lessons, and Qualities and What They All Mean". I found this chapter to be the best reading of the entire book.

In summary, a valuable book that was overall, very enjoyable. There were, however, a few disappointments. The book has an overabundance of profiles of politicians, which was a huge distraction for me. It's difficult for me to find inspiration from people like Jon Corsine, Charlie Rangel or Barbara Boxer. Nonetheless, gloss over the parts that don't interest you and just read the rest. It's well worth the price of the book.

Michael Donaldson provides a clear, concise, and understandable pathway through the complex labyrinth known as "negotiating." He calls his method "wish, want, walk" and throughout the book he brings his points back to that simple three-word concept. Interspersed among the chapters are pithy statements that go beyond traditional business advice, and elevate this to a book about how to improve negotiations in all aspects of your life. Definitely worth reading - several times!

Well written. A quick and understandable read. Most valuable to me was the "walk point" information. Not simplistic, but very do-able. I would recommend it for the reader who wants to take the angst out of the exchange.

Donaldson makes it easy to negotiate in al kinds of situations from family to business. After his book there is no reason to hesitate your next negotiation. It will be so much fun to win without making the other side feel like they have lost that you'll keep looking for new ways to use this info.

Fearless Negotiating forevermore disproves Woody Allen's observation that "90% of life is just showing up." I particularly appreciated the chapter on closing the deal where Michael Donaldson discusses a negotiation where the two sides absolutely wouldn't budge on a final point. The Donaldson method for organizing priorities is a sound and sure way to prepare for any sort of negotiation and to avoid losing it in the last fifteen minutes.

Fearless Negotiating by Michael Donaldson is a fairly one-dimensional book on the topic of negotiating and may have very little practical benefits to those in the business world that buy and sell for a living. As a seasoned negotiator, I recognize the "Wish-Want-Walk" method as nothing more than a negotaitor's Opening Position, Goal, and Bottom Line -- what is commonly know as the negotiation bracket. While I agree that defining one's wish-want-walk is critical to the success of any negotiation, this single aspect is over dramatized at the expense of many other crticial strategies and tactics that are critical to achieving success when negotiating.

great for the price and wow very fast shipping very easy to use. If you travel alot get this atlas.

This is a road atlas that has everything I was looking for. I'm glad I bought it and know I will use it for years to come.

Best map of USA I have ever seen. Very up-to-date. Tons of information. This map is a must have for USA trips...

You won't need to worry about getting lost with this in your car!! Wonderful detail. We went from NH to Florida and back without any problems!

This isn't your father's road atlas! This one has RADICAL streets, AWESOME rivers, and COOOOL lakes represented in TOTALLY TUBULAR drop-down 2-D! I should warn you that you may LITERALLY BURST INTO FLAMES when you note the 6 - 6!!!! - main thoroughfares out of Gettysburg, PA. That is but one moment of potential spontaneous human combustion in the Northeast. Do not look at panel A-4 on the Vermont map, WHATEVER YOU DO!!!!

The perfect size to place in your rucksack in your cross-country trek, the Rand McNally Road Atlas will give you much "G Love". By which I mean that you will be grody to the max and will blind multiple people with science. Science. The sweet science of geography.

The Spanish have the great idea of "work to live," many American s though have the "live to work" mentality, finding themselves not doing what they want to do, or being who they want to be. If you truly want to be something or do something, then this is a book that will help you overcome your own self-doubts, and your own worries knowing that if you are happy and doing the things you should be doing, then everything else follows along nicely. Nevertheless, if you want to learn what people have been saying about people being successful, in that if you listen to your own inner voice because you know you best, then you want to read this book.

Business schools teach that the top 10% of people carry the organization providing over 50% of the total revenue of the company. What is common about these people is that they all are doing something that they believe in, want to do and in many cases love to do. This is the key to the book, clear out your mind of all the things that don't make sense, and start being your own person, your own boss, and start doing the things you want to do, the things you love to do, and if you are very good at it, then you will do just fine in the longer run.

Five of Five stars for this book, was very good to read, and should be part of anyone's own personal business discovery.

You have an "inner CEO," a confident, balanced, successful executive persona that wants to emerge. Allan Cox provides insights, models and assessments to help you let that persona bloom. He develops his material at a certain pace and it gets stronger as you move deeper into the book. Bypass the book's sometimes puzzling charts and read the text for fresh perspectives on your career. Cox discusses building strong relationships, and explains why both learning and mentoring are important. //getAbstract// finds that his material on developing your vision and your company's mission is helpful, and recommends this book to those CEOs who have been so busy being bosses that they sometimes forget to be people.

As a Top CEO Coach, it was clear to me that in reading Allan's book that he had the credentials and experience to help CEOs seeking to refine their skills. In my book Leadership Matters...The CEO Survival Manual: WHAT IT TAKES TO REACH THE C-SUITE AND STAY THERE I put forth many thoughts that compliment the information Allan provides. I would strongly recommend that any executive interested in becoming a CEO purchase Allan's book and refer to it often.

An outstanding book by Allan Cox, executive coach and respected author, filled with invaluable ideas and thought-provoking insights that are applicable to the college graduate about to enter the business world as well as the experienced senior executive. It's a must read for anyone seriously focused on self-development and planned career growth.

Thank you Mr. Cox, you are a Master Teacher and you have another winner here in this very compelling book.

Allan Cox's book, "Your Inner CEO", is a true gem and hidden treasure for any executive. It will soon be recognized as a business classic, carefully prepared and documented by a seasoned expert who knows the ropes and has been there, on the front lines, numerous times. It should be required reading for anyone who aspires to be a CEO, is a CEO or finds themselves thrust into a position of leadership and wants to effect true and constructive change within themselves and in the lives of those in his or her environment or field of influence.

Cox systematically shows the reader how to dive within and do the inner house cleaning and self-evaluation and self-discovery needed for one to be clear, effective, productive, practical and powerful on the surface. Highly recommended, especially for those who understand and believe that the top job and head position is open and available to those that have the courage to look within and gently, effortlessly yet constructively, face their weaknesses.

It is refreshing to see that this book truly delivers and helps the reader rediscover, re-boot and get in touch with their hidden goals, unique talents, and core strengths in order to be an effective, confident, enlightened leader.

This must be one of the best calendars I have ever owned!!! The dog pictures are either adorable or really funny! All pages come with a title and some small caption about the dogs in the picture. I am VERY happy with this item. I have had MANY calendars in my life (including other page a day ones) and I have to say this one is my favorite. Every morning when I wake up I see my page for that day and my whole day goes well. Never could be happier! Other people in my family including my parents started looking at/reading my calendar every day. This page a day calendar is perfect for all ages...toddlers to grandparents!

I love my yearly 365 Dogs Calendar and simply would not be without it. I even buy them for friends and family.

Fantastic calendar for dog lovers. Delivery was within 2 weeks of ordering which I thought was pretty good considering it came from the States.

I am a dog lover, so that means that this day-by-day calendar is a nice item to have.

This is a daily reminder of how wonderful dogs are and why they play such a special role in our lives. Making you smile, laugh, and even cry with the amazing stories told by everyday people and their real-life dogs, this page a day calendar brightens up even the dullest desk.

Big pictures, big numbers, and a blank reverse that you can use as writing paper, dog loving has never been so fulfilling.
