Postcards from Penguin : 100 Book Jackets in One Box

This is 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.

감각적이고 직관적인 디자인으로 제가 너무 좋아하는 펭귄 북스에서 이렇게나 실용적인 엽서 세트가 나왔다니 안살이유가 없었네요^^받아보니 사용하는것뿐만 아니라 소장용으로도 하나 더 구매해서 쟁여둬야겠다눈 생각이드네요^^하나하나 넘겨보며 구경하는 것 만으로 신이 나요.

선물용으로도 너무너무 좋을것같구요~ 한장씩 또는여러장씩 액자에 넣어 전시해두는 것도 이국적이고 좋을것같아요^^강추합니다!!.
