Penguin Books is an all too brief Flickr Photoset of Penguin Book cover designs from decades past. For those interested, this book is highly recommended.

Deja vu. I was the first comment in NationalKato's linked thread - at the risk of repeating myself, "Penguin by design" is an awesome book. If you're a Penguinoholic like me, how can you be without? /not employed by Penguin

Cool! I have some of those...and some they don't. My favorite covers of all are by Signet, like this 1984.

I was pleased when I posted the thread linked to by NationalKato that there were other Penguin lovers (so to speak) here - and even more pleased that some more pictures have been dug out. These are great - this is my favorite so far. (Although this one hasn't dated much, either). On a different note, paging PenguinBukkake, paging PenguinBukkake...

Those are great. I thought I was the only one who loved those retro paperback covers.

What I would love to know is who the artists were. The artists who did these covers were brilliant.

I love the Penguin Classics range; they look great together on bookshelf.

Incidentally, the new Graphics Classics series of Penguin books is spectacular.
