Always loved those old Penguins. My great-aunt had color-coded bookshelves - the one on the landing outside the bathroom was all greenbacks. Right by the front door were the orange ones. Blue in the hall between the living room and dining room, and so on.
Oh, great! Thank you for the recommendation. There is something so fantastic about the early designs of Penguin paperback books. I can't resist them when I travel through a used bookstore somewhere in the world. They are truly beautiful books to hold.

I've been collecting Penguin paperbacks for years, Tosh. I agree, they are wonderful. to look at and easy to read. So glad you liked this post.
