Penguin love
I love Penguin Books. I want a room lined with shelves full of Penguin Books with spines in the same color. For their 60th anniversary they reissued chosen classics in lower-priced Penguin Red editions (P249) and hundreds of titles in the silver editions (P499) with new cover designs and introductions (e.g. P.G. Wodehouse’s The Mating Season with an introduction by Christopher Hitchens). The My Penguin series—Books By the Greats, Covers By You (P249)—has blank white covers so you can do your own artwork. The coverless classics are Emma, The Waves, The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, Tales of the Brothers Grimm, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Crime and Punishment. Dammit, why can’t I draw.

After my purchase of “Lolita” at a local bookstore I’ve been trying to find more Penguin Reds. Where the heck are they?
