I probably had to pay a little more counting shipping than I might have had I been able to find this locally. It was more than made up for by receiving my order the next day and my pleasure at my purchase. I found one of these calendars last year for the first time, and after years of using DayTimers and Franklin Covey style planners, I found this small, elastic bound, week at a time calendar with its little pocket in back, to be the most practical and usable calendar Id ever used. I was greatly frustrated at my inability to find one locally or in Boulder (not, I think, a problem with Moleskine, but rather with the national bookstores and stationers themselves). So finding I could order online was terrific - as was every other part of my experience. Ill probably do this again next year!
