The Penguin Classics Book - inside the archive with Henry Eliot

Shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year 2018.
The Penguin Classics Book is like a chocolate box for bibliophiles to gorge on. Its author, Henry Eliot, took us inside the Penguin archive to show us how the iconic series has changed over the years and why his own book will become an indispensable guide to literary explorers.

I love his passion. I feel like he would be a great teacher.

He already is. He's teaching us.

I have carried this gentleman's massive tome around on my world travels for the last few years. It was worth the shoulder strain & xtra baggage fees. A priceless tool for people who respect their minds & limited hours of life to focus precious reading time on great timeless books.

I love 😊 this book! Have read through it several times and picture myself reading all the books.

I am from Brazil and love Penguin Classic editions.

The Facetti designed covers are by far the most ingenious and attractive. I hunt those out at every used book store and yard sale I go to.

I need that book ❤️

I love the cream ones.

He's like a British John Green.

You need to show the inside of the book more!!!!!!!!

The price :(

[@katie4623]

This is not the best way to advertise a book.

I hate the new classics grid it makes them all look so boring like something you’d be forced to read in school
