Some beautiful book art








My dear friend nudged me the other day and suggested highlighting some beautiful art found on classic book covers. Penguin has been publishing such classics since 1935; dating back to hot metal and letter press style print being the norm. Their in house designers have changed throughout the years but they've started reaching out to new designers that are not perhaps that typical Penguin Classic look that we're all so familiar with. In college reading the classics I probably owned over a dozen Penguin texts, however none as beautiful as these. Otherwise I may have actually kept them through all those moves....

I like the Jane Austen the best.
