Lett's 2015 Torino Planner, Slim, Week to View Upright, Black, 6.62 x 3.25 Inches (CTO3SUBK-15)

Letts 2015 Weekly Planner (slim). (Model T03SM stamped on back cover) I state the item # because there are so many models, and some reviews seem to be describing another. This is a well made appt book. Quite a bit of useful information (front leaves: calendars 2015, 2016; personal data; information by country - currency, dial code, GMT, internet domain; national holidays and notable dates; and 6-page forward 2015 planner); (back leaves: 6-page 2016 year planner; monthly expenses; special dates to remember; favorite restaurants; numerous conversion tables; clothing size equivalents w/space for your own; 15% tip table; speed conversions; gift and zodiac info, traditional b'day and anniversary gifts; toll-free and other useful numbers, including couriers, airlines, financial, credit cards, hotels; int'l dialing codes; small name and address section; notes section; maps; world time zones; and U.S. time zones) (phew!).In the main section, for appts in weekly format, each week shows a mini current month calendar, and a blank space for the week's notes; it also has a monthly planner at the start of each month, useful for putting your activities in perspective. Major holidays are noted (even Valentine's Day is shown!).My only complaints: (1) the phases of the moon are not shown at all and that's not difficult to do; and (2) there is no 2014 calendar, like the 2015 and 2016 in front, which I find useful for recalling last year's events. These are why I gave it only 4 stars. But overall, this is a great book at a very decent price, especially if you travel at all or have friends abroad. It's not at all your basic, no-frills appt book. It also has a ribbon in the binder to keep your current place. I find it easy to carry in my purse. I would definitely recommend this to a friend for the purposes mentioned.A note: I had a hard time choosing between this, the Letts Torino (slim), and the Letts Sterling (slim), considerably pricier, which I had last year. The Sterling paper is slightly superior, with gilded edges, as is the cover, bonded leather; also has 2013 and 2014 calendars together with 2015 and 2016; only a small, 2-page 2015 planning section. Much of the same data as Torino, but also includes a wine vintage chart and a World Temperature Guide (useful!). 2014 also began with pages for late October, November and December 2013, for a smoother transition into 2014. CONS: no monthly planner at the start of each month; back pages include only 4 pages for names and addresses and one for "reminders", which I found inadequate, plus extensive maps, and none of the other useful information as in the Torino. I think of this as a "stripped down" Torino. Oddly, the Sterling is twice the price of the Torino. ( Torino weighs 4.6 oz, Sterling 3.7 oz. ) Chacon a son gout....

I was amazed at the quality and good looks of this planner. The cover is a very convincing faux leather with real stitching. The paper is top quality. I hesitated to order because I thought the low price would mean mediocre quality and I was wrong. The "15" embossing on the front (2015) gives it an understated elegance. I am very happy with this product and intend to order a new one every year.

Nice diary, good value
