CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
- Brilliant!, 29 Dec 2009
Redstone every year create the best diaries! My mum at the end of the year cuts out all the lovely pictures and creates posters to hang on the wall. Inventive orignal and ulitmately beautiful….a MUST buy along with all their lovely books
- Accept No Substitute
Every time I try to use something other than a Redstone Diary, my life goes hopelessly awry. Redstones are the perfect size, include extra pages in the front and back of the diary for notes, are wire-bound (so lie flat), include fun illustrations…the works. The daily space is large enough to include both scheduled meetings and things-to-do, without being so large it’s difficult to see the entire week. Absolutely necessary for my sanity.
- fantastic calendar
The Redstone Diary is the only diary I buy from year to year. It is week on a page format; it’s spiral bound on paper that is NOT glossy (I hate glossy paper); it has pockets for odd notes; and each year it has one theme that it pursues for all its illustrations. It’s perfect.
- Redstone Rocks
I have been using the Redstone Diary series for about 5 or 6 years now. I am always amazed at their innovative themes for each year. Every week of this day planner features a picture relating to the theme. It can be an old piece of music, a page from a book, a diagram from a scientific paper, rock paintings, photographs, a piece of artwork or sculpture, etc. When they did music as a theme, there were instruments from around the globe and through time. Colors was a fun one with pages of text books marked up in different colored highliters.
- My favorite day book
I have been using the Redstone Diary for about 10 years. It’s a comfortable size, the wiro allows it to fold over. The left hand pages alsways have something very interesting on them that are thematically related throughout the book, and there’s lots of pretty colored paper in the back to do whatever on. I tried a conventional one this year but it didn’t last long, no engrossing themes, didn’t lie flat, nothing a little loopy about it at all.
- get on the redstone bus
2007 will be my 7th year utilizing the Redstone Diary. Absolutely the best dayplanner- spiral-bound, pages broken down weekly, with enough space to write, margins and endpages to jot notes, and THE most interesting collections of art, photos, charts, etc… I like to imagine the editors slaving all year, mining the dustiest recesses of archives and the internet to find forgotten images that deserve the light of day.
If you’re currently using another dayplanner, dump it. If you’re using one of those Palm-Pilot/electronic organizer things, smash it. The future belongs to the analog loyalists.
