About the book

In this appealing history of the daily act of self-reckoning, Molly McCarthy explores just how vital the daily planner is to those who use them. From their origins in almanacs and blank books through the 19th century and on to the enduring legacy of written introspection, McCarthy has penned an exquisite biography of an almost ubiquitous document that has borne witness to American lives in all of their complexity and mundanity.
