I just ordered the penguin set for £68 including delivery on amazon. I'll tell myself it's an early birthday present ;) You have a lot to answer for sinead, including a weighty credit card bill at the end of the moneth.

It pretty much charts the development of Penguin covers (and the logo ;)) over the years and some of the editions of books are droolworthy. Every page is packed with coloured photos but there is a good bit of reading in it too. It starts off with the first books and goes right up to their old-school reference reissues they did last year (i just had to buy a thesaurus and economics dictionary because they looked so retro). I should probably blog about it given it's penguin-relatedness ;) I guess I'll think about buying the Penguin set with my next pay cheque, I could always say it was for work purposes! Here’s the amazon link
