Patrick's blog has a downloadable, self printable version that turns into a nice little book. Cost is a prayer for his wife who's fighting breast cancer at the moment.

Patrick Ng (of the scription blog and inventor of the Chronodex - don't even get me talking about the Chronodex) is a Midori 'master' but he also encourages people to be creative. Here's an article where he describes creating a custom pen-holder for Field Notes.

I liked the flexibility - when we're on a trip the calendar gets replaced by a sort of sketch/scrapbook and its thin enough to use as a wallet
