I have the boxed collection that celebrated their 70 years of publishing and cherish the front cover illustrations and short stories. But I'd also like to grow my collection of the old books - there really is something about the dusty, used feel about old books and it's amazing what you can find slipped in old books! It's true that they worked hard to develop their design, consistent use of brand and the colours they used (as you described). Well done - this is a fab article, that started my day off just lovely.

I've been collecting every time I hit an antiques market or car boot sale. There's something about that dusty university library feeling that's so enduring. Did you see that the Book People released a collection of "Modern Classics" a couple of years back - new books, trad design. Bought the collection for my friend and now regret not getting a set for myself... Thank you Ute for your comments. I’ve been collecting every time I hit an antiques market or car boot sale.

It's a well written article Fiona. It makes me want to head down to my local bookshop to find a Penguin book, as buying them online just isn't the same as seeing them for real on a bookshelf and being able to flick through them...A strong brand indeed :-) I love Penguin books and the brand and treasure my collection of Penguin 60s , little mini books that used to cost 60p…
