Those Penguin covers from the 60s and 70s are really cool, its a shame the books were made so cheaply

If you can believe it most of those are thrift store finds. The store is gone for a few years now sadly =(

i also like the original penguin paperback Joseph conrad covers. The nigger of the narcissus has an excellent dawning of his face. I have those as well , but i cant be bothered.

Other two are nothing special but 100 Years of Solitude is the nicest cover I have ever seen

I like the Dubliners and APOTAAYM because you can tell what the white letters are supposed to say (Dublin, and Portrait of The Artist), but what the fuck is Ulysses supposed to say? "Ulss?" what does that mean?

Cool covers anyways, penguin has some cool covers

Steinbeck may be peak lowbrow in the same way that Hemingway is, but there there's a weird kind of beauty and simplicity in his writing; he won't stun you with how smart he is or how well he writes, but there is something deeply human in his works
