About Us

Since 1979, Per Annum, Inc. has been publishing unique information-filled City Diaries. Our mission remains to provide clients with the information they require in the format they prefer. By listening and responding to the needs of our customers, Per Annum City Diaries have evolved into the most convenient tool for daily organization and urban navigation available. City Diaries are available for Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Manhattan and the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as a 15-City Metro edition.

For those preferring less geographically specific diaries, we have developed our InfoLine Diaries. These diaries, in a refillable format, provide an array of information and include full color world and North American maps.

Per Annum Diaries are prized by businesses, both large and small, for gift giving, recruitment and customer incentive programs. Our diaries, imprinted with your name or company logo, provide a resource that goes beyond any ordinary datebook.

In 2006, Per Annum introduced the innovative MyBook Adaptable Planner. Combining the practicality of a daily planner with the creativity of a scrapbook, MyBook allow users to "make it theirs" by adding photos, artwork, scrapbook pages and more.

In 2011, by popular demand, Per Annum introduced its first wall calendar, the New York CityCalendar, featuring full-color photography by longtime employee Lisa Flanagan, as she shared the experiences of her daily travels in and around NYC. This proved to be a popular addition to the Per Annum family of products, and a Chicago edition was introduced for 2012.

In addition to information diaries, Per Annum also carries an extensive line of photo albums, scrapbooks and accessories. Albums Etc. is a one-stop shop for photo albums, scrapbooks, business accessories and unique gifts from popular brands including Kolo, Raika, Graphic Image, Rag & Bone, Pulp and more. These products can be customized with gold or silver imprinting of names, initials, event titles, dates, company names and/or logos.

In 2003, Per Annum discovered Nannini Eyewear when searching for a solution for City Diary users who wanted larger text but were unwilling to give up the compact size. With this in mind, Per Annum introduced Nannini's compact reading glasses -- the perfect fit! After reviewing Nannini's complete line, Per Annum wanted to make these truly unique glasses available in the U.S. This resulted in a partnership that made Per Annum the exclusive North American distributor of Nannini FlatSpecs, Sport Specs and more.
