So, I love books and I love stationery. You can imagine my excitement when I discovered 100 Postcards from Penguin - postcards of book covers! What a blisteringly great idea.
They arrived this morning, and I love them all. There are postcards of book covers for every occasion.
I tried to choose four of my favourites to photograph, and had to stop when I reached eleven. I really love the old-fashioned simple orange and (off-)white covers with the title and author, but also the more progressive covers. The colours are beautiful. And aesthetically, this is what book covers should be. Not awful, scrappy-montage rubbish on shiny paper, but covers designed with only the book in mind, using wonderful colours and a matt finish.
Okay, I need to calm down and get back to work :)

I love these! I just checked and they're available in the US! After that horrible Roisin tour, my only regret is not buying a Penguin mug at the British Library. I'll be back... eventually.
