appointment books
Where meetings live
Appointment books are bound volumes with pages divided into time slots for scheduling meetings, visits, and other commitments.
Before digital calendars, professionals kept appointment books on their desks: The receptionist checked the appointment book for openings.
The term persists even as physical versions have largely given way to electronic scheduling.
