It's a little bit like lightning striking twice. First, Workman essentially jump-started the calendar business in 1977 with B. Kliban’s Cat, a wall calendar based on the quirky New York Times bestseller. Then just a few years later, in the spring of 1979, we introduced our next and most significant innovation in calendar publishing, the original Page-A-Day Calendar. The idea was a boxed desk calendar featuring a different page of new content every day, and three titles launched the series: 365 Words-A-Year, 365 Women-A-Year, and 365 Jokes, Puns, and Riddles.
Close to 50 years ago and more than 200 million copies later, Workman continues to publish America’s #1 bestselling calendar line while setting the standard for excellence, quality, innovation, and sheer entertainment value. Our guiding principle is to publish calendars like books—with the same high editorial standards and meticulous attention to detail. Year in and year out the list is packed with a mixture of perennial bestsellers, such as 365 Cats and Today Is Going to Be A Great Day, Audubon Engagement Calendar; and worthy newcomers like Illustrated Bible Verses, Atlas Obscura, and Paint By Sticker®.
