Collins 44-Blue 2019 A4 2019 Desk Day to Page Diary - Blue

I've been buying this type of Collins A4 day-per-page diary now, each year, for more years than I can recall and while they do tend to tinker around with it, I have always found that the basic quality is still there. The pages never come out and the spine never breaks.Over the course of a year, being used several times each day, they do get a fair bit of abuse, but they always hold together no problem. In addition, I have found they store well for years (as one of my many overburdened shelves can testify.....I really should throw those out.....). I've tried others but this is still the best balance of quality, price, content and layout for me, personally.One day/A4 page works best for me, as I never have to worry about running put of space, or having to write very small to get everything on the page (which means I can always read what I've written!) and still have space to add additional notes, as needed. Also, once I've written something down, I know it's there, so don't have to worry about remembering it, which is very reassuring. I like diaries.The 2019 diary is identical in format to the 2018 version (as far as I can tell); it has the usual ribbon and one day per A4 page (but, like the 2018 version, there are no pre-assigned time slots). Each page has a little fact associated that that particular day in history in the bottom right hand corner.In addition, in the front this 2019 diary has the same basic format as the 2018 version;A 2 page 2019 year plannerAn A4 staff holiday pageUk holidays for 2019 and 2020, religious festivals (19 and 20) and intl. dialling codes, international holidays for selected counties ( mostly European + Japan and USA)Sunrise and sunset for 2019, a small number of conversion factors and calendars for 2018, 19 and 20a one page list of web addressesOne page to add addresses and telephone numbersAt the back, there is;A one page 2020 forward plannerOne page/month to record accounts (12 pages)7 blank pages for notesAn A4 map of the London Underground and finally,A 2 page 2020 year plannerOh, and yes, all the days/dates for the months are correct!A really good day diary.Recommended.

Good quality and sturdy, just the right amount of weight to the page, well worth the price.

Does what it says on the tin

Was looking for an A4 planner to keep track of daily tasks/meetings and this book does it well. Would be nice if it had weekly summary pages and the corners being able to be torn off (I just cut them with scissors but obviously not as tidy), but all in all very pleased with this.

To nit pick, I think it would be improved with some internal colours

Nice looking with paper that is thick enough to avoid bleed through. Much better to use for a whole year if you use one alot than the cheaper versions that feel thin and bleed.

good size smart appearance but certain pens can bleed through the paper - would be better with a plain rollerball or 'biro' type pen.

Gardeners diary to be used as a reminder for gardening tasks. Just what I needed, a weekly to do list and a notes section on each page.
