Daily Delight: Penguin Classics

I am an unabashed bibliophile and would love to own every one of these books.

penguin classics

Penguin Classics has released hardcover editions of 20 great books featuring beautifully designed covers by Coralie Bickford-Smith. The publisher even suggests on their site that you should buy them, “just for their covers.” I’d venture to say that any book and design lover’s library would be incomplete without them.

  1. WOW! I have been away for a long, long time! Much happening in my life, but I'm wondering about my good friends in the blogging world…Like Coop!!! What's going on. It's almost that time of year again, where we begin the arduous chore of entering for the Dream Home!! I'm out of the loop, but still LOVE HGTV & DIY!!!
