it's not that horrible. relevant text plus grey and white photographies looks neat in a collection. the modern selection has a lot of good titles btw.

It honestly does suck but a lot of Penguin modern classics are good. Tropic of Cancer is very nice.

It looks fine to me, but obviously the original cover is the best. I generally like the covers on the Penguin Modern Classics editions but there are some really fucking dogshit ones too. Pic related.

Top right always disappoints me, they had such a great opportunity there, should have had the black y e and s written over misprinted white letters as a nod to its printing issues.

Bound in oak and ox leather is the only way to go, with a nice ex libris of course
