Compilation of 2006 and 2007 NYT crossword reprints into a page-a-day calendar
This page-a-day desk calendar features 313 consecutive New York Times daily crossword puzzles originally printed between June 29, 2006 and July 4, 2007. This chronology picks up where the 2009 page-a-day calendar ended. This series aligns with the normal Monday to Saturday progression of difficulty. Saturdays and Sundays share a calendar page and feature a Saturday puzzle. A puzzle's original date of publication is very close to the calendar date: for example, the 1/5/2007 puzzle is on the 1/1/2010 calendar page, and the 6/29/2006 puzzle is on the 7/1/2010 page. This year's box is yellow; otherwise, the 2010 calendar's format is the same as that of previous years. The puzzle grids measure about 3" x 3" on the page, while each full page measures about 6" x 5". The lower right corner even features a few square inches of blank space for use as an actual desk calendar. The tear-off pages offer portability - I often keep a few pages in my planner for use in waiting rooms, train rides, etc. The front two pages are small 2010 and 2011 calendars that can be removed and conveniently posted elsewhere. I have been consistently pleased with this product and buy it every year.

I buy it every year, but I wish it worked better as a calendar
The other review gives excellent detail on the set-up of the calendar.

Unfortunately as good as it is in presenting brain teasers, it is not a very good calendar. I love the setup of the pages, the puzzle takes up the top right more-than-a-quarter of the page and the clues take up the left hand side.

Underneath the puzzle is today's date and some lines for notes. I don't know about other users, but I never use these lines and would prefer a grid of the current month, or even two months if it would fit. I wind up having to keep another calender on my desk to reference future dates or look up past ones.

Sunday is more fun
I am enjoying this calendar but the Sunday puzzles are more fun. These are the Saturday puzzles and are much more difficult, at least for me!
