Here I had fun with the Classic Penguin cover. The design and the logo for me is one of the best Penguin had. The genre was instantly recognizable, the brand clear, and the space for illustration was just right. I think I never got so excited by covers like these - especially when I came across them in secondhand book stores. They also look good on the shelf. Perfect desiggn for paperbacks. So perfect I had to have my way with them.

I always like to pick up a Penguin too. Infact I'm using a 1963 (first edition in paperback) copy of "Lord of the Flies" {Complete 2/6 Unabridged} as a mouse-mat, which reminds me that I should'nt. At the very least I ought to use "Of Mice And Men" ; )

p.s. I seem to have misunderstood the sign up / sign-in process, and as a result I am, rather idiotically, following you twice under different identities.
