Finally….convinced that I would never be satisfied with anything else once I laid eyes on the coveted X47…I ordered it. I had to enlist the help of a local business-person who is a native of Germany…since the ordering part of the site is not in English. I must report….I adore this planner! I have a week spread in front of me, plenty of room for notes, no annoying spirals or metal rings in the way, cutting my week viciously down the middle. AND I have an address book, a journal, and a notebook in the same binder…everything together as I wanted. No more carrying around three or four different books, snagging my sleeve on a warped, half-closed three-ring, bending spirals, etc. No more transferring my contacts with each new notebook. It is perfect in every way. The big expense was the leather cover (available in billions of exceptional choices)which will last forever. I am proud to report that I ordered the 2010 year calendar by MYSELF last week and have already received it. X47 has excellent customer care and service and they are a delight to work with.
