Rating:  - Not a good change
I have purchased the Lonely Planet calendar every year for the past 3 or 4 years and I am very disappointed with the changes made to the 2008 calendar. In previous years there was a large pictue at the top and a small foto for every day or two days of the month for total of about 25 pictures per month. This year however each month has only 6 pictures.. VERY disappointing! That said I sent an email to Lonely Planet and the responded with a sample of the 2009 calendar which had about 15-20 pictures ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointed at the format AND the subjects
I am adding my voice to the reviewers here. I much preferred the several smaller pictures. Added to that is my disappointment at the photos chosen to be the largest picture of each month. The picture of a young girl in Goth makeup is not representative of her country, and not a picture I care to look at for a month. Just one example. Some of them are nice to look at for a month but too many aren't. I would prefer the format of several pictures of a country and its people, that I saw previously.
Rating: - I hate the redesign!!!
In the past, I have loved this calendar. I have used it for two years. This year I sent it back! The redesign means there is only 3 photos per month rather than a picture a day.
Until they return to old design, I won't be purchasing this calendar again.
Rating: - Ruined a great product
I am so disappointed - for years, I've given my wife the Lonely Planet Calendar for Christmas. A beautiful, chock-full-of-images calendar, with some of the most fantastic photography to be found. Now, the calendar has been redesigned. Minimalist, hardly recognizable as Lonely Planet's. Unless LP fixes this they've ruined a tradition. My wife and I are HUGE LP fans and own many dozen of their indispensable guide books. The annual gift of the new calendar has been a highlight of Christmas here for ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointed in new format
We should have read the reviews before purchasing on-line. Unlike all the previous years, the 2008 Lonely Planet is not a picture a day calendar. Alaska is one month and there are only 3 pictures for it. Also, the squares are smaller and thus we can't fit all our activities in this. We are going to switch to the 1,000 places calendar, but are sad. Now we know why we couldn't find "our" calendar anywhere in the stores. Not worth the price if you are used to the traditional.
