While this post is about books, it's not about books. Well, not about what's inside them. Penguin book has announced a new series of books, which they will be calling "My Penguin." And I CAN'T WAIT.
Although many people ignore the old chestnut and choose a book by it's cover, Penguin will be publishing these books with a blank front cover.
Printed on art-quality paper, these are books ready to take whatever you can throw at them (and we know, because we've tried), whether it be doodling, painting, penciling, penning or adorning them with whatever takes your fancy.Helen Conford just announced this last week on the Penguin Book Blog and her excitement is palpable. Imagine.. the company has even opened an online gallery of covers from those who have gotten their hands on early copies and hope that the consumer sends in their completed covers.
The series includes:
- Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
- Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
- Magic Tales by the Brothers Grimm
- The Waves by Virginia Woolf
- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and
- Emma by Jane Austen
Crime and Punishment cover by Sally McIaren
