 Reader's Collection 2007 Wall Calendar Artist Deborah DeWit Marchant has created this calendar, formerly distributed only to patrons of the renowned Bas Bleu's readers' catalog, with 12 original images that capture the magic moments of reading. Each month's artwork is accompanied by a timeless quote - from Longfellow ("The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books.") to Martin Tupper ("A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever") - that reveals the profound pleasures that books bring to readers' lives. |
 Book Lover's Page-A-Day 2007 Desk Calendar Need a recommendation? Check out Stewart Lee Allen's The Devil's Cup, the fascinating story of how coffee shaped the world. You've never read Anne Tyler? Begin with The Amateur Marriage. Alfred Kinsey through the eyes of T. C. Boyle. Plus Sydney Sheldon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? and other summer beach reads, Michael Faber's intricately detailed Victorian page-turner, The Crimson Petal and the White, and the perfect Valentine's Day gift for curmudgeons: Against Love: A Polemic, by Laura Kipnis. |
 Women's Wit 2007 Mini Boxed Calendar Sassy, irreverent, and clever describe the quotations and women featured in this mini calendar. No topic is off-limits, as these women dish on men, sex, money, fashion, fame, and much more. Each colorful page contains a quote from one of the world's most famous women, spoken from a distinct female perspective. The backer includes an easel for display on a counter or desk, and magnets that allow it to be attached to a metal surface. |

 American Heritage Dictionary Word-A-Day 2007 Desk Calendar Back for its fourteenth year, it is a great tool for those wanting to expand and enrich their vocabulary. The definitions on the Saturday pages are accompanied by illustrations. Each Sunday page features a multiple choice word quiz. |
 Shakespeare's Insults 2007 Desk Calendar Not only did William Shakespeare produce the loveliest sonnets the language has yet known, he was equally creative at scabrous verbal abuse, ego-crushing personal appraisals, cudgel-blunt challenges, rapier-sharp ripostes, pungent put-downs, and killing kiss-offs. This uproarious calendar presents 313 brief excerpts from the plays (each Saturday and Sunday share a page and an excerpt), with citations including act and scene; notes on who is abusing whom and why; and explanations of no longer familiar words. It's a poultice for ill humor and a daily delight for anyone who loves ill humor well expressed. |
 Shakespeare's Realm 2007 Wall Calendar William Shakespeare's plays are unique in the beauty and innovation of their language and in their timelessness of theme. This calendar - now in its tenth year - offers dozens of paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs of scenes from his plays, costumes and actors, histrionic orations, books and posters. |

 Anguished English 2007 Desk Calendar "Please place your donation in the envelope, along with the deceased person(s) you want remembered." Compiled by Richard Lederer, eagle-eyed host of A Way with Words on public radio and author of more than thirty books on language, the 313 entries in this 324-page calendar (Saturdays and Sundays share a page) feature classic language blunders in a number of categories, including "School Daze," "Medical-Speak," "Lost in Translation," and others. The hilariously botched English in all the entries came from real-world sightings. |
 Seasons with Emily Dickinson 2007 Wall Calendar Experience the beauty of the seasons along with Emily Dickinson's poetic verse! These captivating images of New England, where Dickinson penned her poetry, make this a unique calendar to admire and treasure. |
