All About the Hobonichi Techo Avec July-December Book

The Hobonichi Techo Avec book set comes in two six-month books: Book 1 from January-June and Book 2 from July-December. This is the Avec July-December book, which comes in two sizes: Original (A6 size) and Cousin (A5 size). Both sizes provide plenty of space to fill in the daily pages. The six-month Avec book is half the thickness and weight of its full-year counterpart, so it’s comfortable to carry around.

The basic layout of the Avec is the same as the full-year counterpart.
The Cousin also has the same weekly pages as its full-year counterpart.
For more details, see for the Original, and here for the Cousin.

Techo Covers

The Avec book is fine to use on its own, but pairing it with a cover can make the experience extra convenient and fun. Here are four examples of cover styles that we recommend for use with the Avec, each with a benefit for different lifestyles.

The Benchmark
Basics for Beginners

The Colors cover series contains the most basic, standard covers for the Hobonichi Techo. Within the Colors covers, Navy is the most popular and style-compatible choice. Slide a pen into the pen holders to keep the book shut when in your bag.
