But the most offensive is that all exercise books, notebooks and diaries, too It focuses exclusively on the "right" of this world and very uncomfortable for those who by nature can only write right left. To correct this misunderstanding, Ian Frank has created a remarkable calendar, diary, calculated on those who have left arm is leading. :)

Who is this diary
- First and foremost, of course, for themselves "levolapikov". "Left-handed from left-hander" - this is the slogan of this creation, because its author is also left-handed, and as no one else knows that it is more convenient for "levolapikov". :)
- For ambidexterity (superhumans that are equally owned by both right and left hand).
- For right-handers, who want to visit the "world vice versa" and to practice their "levopisanie".
author comment
This calendar-diary - another attempt to do something like this: a special, special gift for Representatives of "biological minorities", which in everyday life are increasingly stumble on things made "for all". To once again recall that they - not quite the same as everybody else.

Forums diary
The introduction, which is a characteristic known as "Nala-e-in!"
Here Ian Frank talks about his childhood "incurable levoruchki". About how everything diligently tried to "re-educate her on the right side," but it is "not to be retrained."
I won the right to write with his left hand, even in the Soviet school. It was simply impossible to force me from trying to re-educate me on the right side of my whole world was falling apart and I lost the ability to read, write, speak and think.
