Here are twenty paintings by eighteen artists, each intrigued by a woman who is in turn captivated by the written word. Well-chosen words on the pleasures of reading, from historic and contemporary female readers and writers alike, accompany each image. Also included are fifty-seven weekly grids and thirteen full-page monthly grids; double-page spreads of 2017 and 2018 yearly grids; a full 2017 calendar on the cover flaps; a list of international holidays; a world time-zone map; a 2018 year planner with US, UK, and Canadian holidays; pages for notes; and a personal information page.
