I love the covers of the Penguin Classics.

The design of their covers (with that black bar containing the title and author's name, and above the black bar an artwork slightly related to the topic of the book - and between the two a white strip) is to me one of the most successful.

Post covers of Penguin Classics you find beautiful.

The time has come for me to read the classics en mass, but I am strangely compulsive about my bindings (not quality, just that they match). So /lit/, tell me, which series should I go with? ie. penguin, cambridge, norton, dover, or something far less pleb.

The only books I have problems cracking are Penguin books. The paint starts chipping off and it looks like shit.

Holy shit i've never seen /lit/ behave this retardedly before. What's the matter? Should he only purchase penguin classic versions of dead authors?
