A collection of ink on paper illustrations by illustrator Yue Feng.
A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a different and
iconic Penguin book jacket. From classics to crime, here are over
seventy years of quintessentially British design in one box. In
1935 Allen Lane stood on a platform at Exeter railway station,
looking for a good book for the journey to London. His
disappointment at the poor range of paperbacks on offer led him to
found Penguin Books. The quality paperback had arrived. Declaring
that 'good design is no more expensive than bad', Lane was adamant
that his Penguin paperbacks should cost no more than a packet of
cigarettes, but that they should always look distinctive. Ever
since then, from their original - now world-famous - look featuring
three bold horizontal stripes, through many different stylish,
inventive and iconic cover designs, Penguin's paperback jackets
have been a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture. And
whether they're for classics, crime, reference or prize-winning
novels, they still follow Allen Lane's original design mantra.
Sometimes, you definitely should judge a book by its cover.
