Excellent

I've been giving this to my dad for the last seven years and he loves it. This book is never a disappointment and is full of tradition and nautical lore. The illustrations are beautiful. My family have all been sailors and have always loved the traditions and lore of the sea. This gets better each year.

Mariner's Book of Days

If you have an interest in nautical history this is the calendar/journal for you. Have been purchasing for 8 years and have never seen a repeat of information. Fascinating!

Fascinating journal and datebook

This is a lovely way to keep track of your appoinments while also enjoying fascinating bits of maritime history and other often little known nautical facts. There is enough space to keep a short diary entry for each day.

Fascinating Searfaring

As we can all use calendars for the upcoming new year, they often become merely repositories for written appointments and reminders for such events as family's and friend's birthdays, and concert and luncheon dates. The Mariner's Book of Days 2008 Calendar is a much different calendar. One that satisfies those of us who simply use a calendar to keep our busy lives in order and also a calendar that does much more than that. Education, insight, history, technical tips of traversing the sea, humor, family, love, and memories. This special calendar is all that and much more. This very special calendar is dedicated to the late Robb White from Thomasville, GA. Robb, was a very special person who comes from a very special family, a family which I have become a part of over the past year. In spite of my obvious bias for this wonderful calendar, I feel that even if I had never met Robb's family, this is a calendar that would have captured my imagination, my excitement, and my curiosity about a subject that we all have an interest in, from our younger years into out adult lives. My only complaint of the calendar (which has been published for several years) is that each new year brings more fascinating information built upon the previous year's calendar, thus begging for a much longer multi-year calendar (maybe a boxed set?). Although, maybe we should just take life one year at a time, fully enjoying and living that year to the fullest, something that I'm sure Robb White did and would suggest to the rest of us.

A tradition

My husband, an avid sailor & builder of his own sailboat, asked one year after we were married for this book. It has become a tradition every Christmas to purchase the Book of Days. And no matter how many years have passed, he enjoys each new book as much as the last. If you know a sailor, or someone who simply enjoys sailing lore & facts, this book is a treasure.

Now in its 17th year, the Mariners Book of Days is an ever-growing encyclopedia of nautical fact, fiction, and folklore, and has been hailed as the best, most entertaining nautical desk diary and calendar to see print. An invaluable reference, each annual edition is completely different from its predecessors, and all have become collectors items. On every right-hand page is a week of days, with the nautical significance of each explored in brief by the author. On each left-hand page is a collection of nautical miscellany evoking the rich traditions of the sea. Entertaining and informative, illustrated with a variety of lovely etchings, engravings, sketches, and watercolors, The Mariner's Book of Days takes readers on a 365-day voyage through history.
