Penguin Essentials

It’s great to see the extent of Penguin’s com­mit­ment to design as they con­tinue to release new series; the lat­est being Penguin Essentials. This time around, the aim was to repack­age each title as a con­tem­po­rary story through the work of a wide range of artists and design­ers. More details about why they chose to go in this direc­tion can be found on Penguin’s blog.

And if you like what you see, Penguin is also hold­ing a con­test to win the entire set of Penguin Essentials, which includes twenty of the 20th century’s most impor­tant sto­ries. Take your chances and enter here. Editor’s note: It was just brought to my atten­tion that you need to be a UK res­i­dent to be eli­gi­ble for the prize. Unfortunately I didn’t notice that caveat when I first spot­ted the con­testapolo­gies!
