Happy Birthday Penguin!
I went to a bookstore in Waterloo on Saturday to pick up a Toronto guidebook. While at the bookstore, I saw these amazing Penguin books. As usual, they were wafer-thin and cheap, but Penguin has reinvented themselves for a 70th birthday series and have great authors and great graphic design. I was compelled to buy two from the birthday series (a tiny Jamie Oliver book of recipies and a couple of Zadie Smith short stories), a copy of from their new Great Ideas series of sumptuous letterpressed-cover books (a selection of these below), and their bookcover-design retrospective. Let's see if I can resist going back for more.
