Jane Beiles

Bank Square Books presents an author signing with Jane Beiles for the book 52 Weeks.

From the misty hills of Virginia horse country at dawn to the bustling bike filled streets of Copenhagen to the exclusive enclaves in quaint New England seaside towns, the photos in this incredibly designed perpetual planner will transport you weekly to some of the most beautiful scenes the world has to behold.

Jane Beiles, an acclaimed photographer based in Fairfield County, CT and contributor to the New York Times and Architectural Digest, has carefully curated her award winning collection to share her favorite travel, food, garden and interior photos in this unique planner. She has traveled the world on assignment and now we get a glimpse into her world behind the lens. Spectacular interiors, lush gardens, artists’ studios, unbelievable vistas – each page transports us to the sites with her stunning photos. We are treated to her reflections on each page as she shares whimsical anecdotes from the particular shoot as well as insider photo tips for the aspiring photographer.

The pages of this planner come alive as each photo is perfectly paired with inspirational quotes from an eclectic collection of voices ranging from Walt Whitman to Marcus Aurelius to Maya Angelou. The quotes and photos combine to inspire the user to explore not only the greater world through travel but to see the beauty in the simplicity of light at dawn, a bird on a branch or a well laid table bursting with bountiful food, wildflowers and dear friends.

Designed to be used by all ages, the planner strives to offer both organizational assistance as well as space for long and short term goal advancement. The pages afford opportunities to detail priorities and focus areas for tracking to create a sense of accountability and accomplishment. Further, in a rarely seen feature, this planner cleverly opens easily for both left and right handed users.

A planner has never promised as much joy, insight and inspiration as this unique treasure trove of stunning images, meaningful quotes and thoughtful design. It is a must have and a must give.
