Astrological Calendars differ from the common sort. Astrological calendars not only give the moon's phase, but also its void of course & the aspects it makes to the sun & other planets, and the aspects sun & planets make to each other. Astrological calendars also tell when the moon, sun & planets enter each of the 12 signs of the zodiac, when planets station & go retrograde/direct, as well as note solar/lunar eclipses & lunar occultations. All precisely timed. A regular calendar will tell you the day of the week. An astrological calendar brings you the world, if you know how to read it.
If you're new to the insane world of astrological calendars, know that most people wait for Jim Maynard's wall, datebook & pocket calendars, which, most years, arrive in November. By "most people", I mean 90% of us, me included. They're that good. In years past I waited until stock actually arrived, or was due to arrive in a week or two, and only then put them on-line & started taking orders, but in 2008, for the first time, I opened the listings & started taking orders in September. This worked rather well, and I will do the same this year.
The following interior scans are 100% LIFE SIZE, though your monitor may show differently. Cover illustrations are at 25%.

Overview: Maynard's datebook shows both EASTERN & PACIFIC times. STANDARD time is used during the winter months, DAYLIGHT is used in summer, so there's never a need to fiddle with times.

Left-Hand (even-numbered) pages: At the top, the month & year. Under that, small calendars for the previous month, the current month, and the next month. Below that, space for Monday through Thursday. Right-Hand (odd numbered) pages: At the top, the sign of the Zodiac for the week, a space for TO DO notes, a small B&W reproduction of the art for the month (from the wall calendar), and Thursday through Sunday.
Wirebound (very convenient). Size: 5.35 x 8.5 inches, or 13.5 x 21.7 cm.

The calendar pages in Maynard's Pocket Astrologer are an exact duplication of the wall calendar, but very much smaller. Please see notes above for a description. As with Maynard's wall calendar, both STANDARD & DAYLIGHT times are used. As the printing is very tiny, I've always found the type too small to read, but Maynard's Pockets are quite popular. So it might just be my eyes (they're not what they used to be).Size (closed): 4.25 x 5.5 inches, or 11.7 x 14 cm. Quicksilver Productions, printed in China.

As last year, the Pocket Planner notes the day when Standard Time becomes Daylight, which is now the second Sunday in March. Daylight now ends the first Sunday in November. Llewellyn Publications.

This is not only because he has the most outstanding product, but also because he has published it for well over 30 years. Quality, combined with persistence & hard work, have given him this great prize. So if you have published something new, something you know to be good & useful, remember that persistence is the key.
