Margin Planner 2027: Great Authors
by Margin · sold on marginpaper.com
The Margin Planner with a Charles Dickens cover and old book lettering. Same pages and links, for $5 more.
Great Authors is the Margin Planner with a new look. It keeps every page of the standard edition: the year, quarters, months, weeks, two pages per day, 100 meetings, 100 lists, a 100-page notebook and ten goal pages. All 1,229 pages are linked, and the free October to December 2026 planner comes in the same style.
The cover shows a pencil portrait of Charles Dickens with a line from A Christmas Carol. Inside, titles and numbers use IM Fell, a revival of 17th-century English book type, and a faint engraved flourish runs behind each page header. We went through all ten preview pages. The flourish stays light, so headers remain easy to read, and the writing space matches the standard edition line for line.
It supports the same tablets: the reMarkable 2 and Paper Pro, the Kindle Scribe, the Supernote Manta, the Boox Note Air4 C, Tab Ultra C Pro and Go 10.3, and the Kobo Elipsa 2E. It also comes in the same eight versions, including left-handed ones with the tabs on the right.
The only question is whether the look is worth $5. The pages work exactly like the standard edition's, and Margin leaves this edition out of its multi-buy discounts. If you open your planner every day and care how it looks, $5 buys a nicer object. If you only care about the layout, buy the standard edition.
