If I have learned one thing as the calendar buyer here at the store, it's that people get very attached to their calendars. That goes double for their planners. Here at the Ave store, we have over 150 different planner/desk/engagement/ pocket calendar titles in New & Used books alone, not to mention the many other styles carried in our Supplies department downstairs. So, if you're looking for a change in 2009, take a look at these:

Slingshot Organizer 2009
by Slingshot Collective
Over the past 15 years the Slingshot organizers have accumulated legions of contented users. Available in a pocket and a spiral-bound desk size, both of which come in a rainbow of colors, the Slingshot is the product of an all-volunteer collective in Berkeley, and is chock full of useful and unexpected information for every day of the year. Example: the entry for May 11 informs us that on that date in 2003, employees of Seattle's own Lusty Lady took over the theater's operations. $6.00 pocket, $12.00 desk
Paperblanks Planners 2009
by Paperblanks
The nice folks at our Mill Creek, Tacoma and Bellevue stores have been carrying the Paperblanks planners for years, but we have them at the Ave store for the first time this year. From the folks that make all those nice blank journals, the 2009 planners come in a variety of styles, inside and out. Choose from magnetic closure, elastic closure, Mini, Slim, Pocket, Large and Extra Large, embossed, foiled, jeweled...the list goes on!
and last but not least...back in July in this space I gently warned you about
Moleskine Planners
by Moleskine
We still have a couple of the 18-month styles available, which I have seen listed online for some ridiculously high prices. If you use the 18-month Moleskine, remember that your current one will expire in December. Last year we were completely sold out of the 18-month ones by then. We also have 18 different styles of the 2009 Moleskine planners, including some I though we were not getting but which miraculously showed up last week. These will undoubtedly sell out as well. So if you want to become an online Moleskine speculator, by all means, come buy 15 or 20 today. They're one of the best investments out there!

I don't know how easy they'd be for UBS to get, but I have bought these German calendars for friends for years. They're sort of a meatier version of Slingshot, with original drawings and doodles on every page.
