Vegan's Daily Companion is a beautiful hardcover book organized as a day minder, with entries creating a complete year's worth of information. Each of the year's fifty-two weeks has six entries.
You can start reading this book from the beginning, following the days of the week through the calendar year, or reading one entry a day (except for Saturday and Sunday, which are combined). You can also read from the middle of the book, the end, or skip around from week to week as inspiration strikes. The most important thing to remember is that you can use this book however you want.
