The amazing Eric Drooker animates his jacket illustration for our new Robin Kirkpatrick-translated, all-in-one Divine Comedy.
nerdintranslation drools over Penguin Drop Caps: ”It makes me cry, it’s so beautiful!”
Warms our hearts, this does.
In the spirit of awesomeness (as hinted at in our previous post), today several members of our publicity team are sharing what they’ll be gifting—some of us to ourselves—for the holidays.
For Publicity Assistant Cat Boyd, the Penguin Drop Caps are topping her list:
They’re the perfect blend of mind-bending-ly bright colors, typography, and classic lit.
Seriously—what’s not to like? Thanks, Cat!
I love Penguin classics :)
“‘I’ll be careful; but everybody does eat lots, and I like it better than being moderate,’ said Stuffy, who leaned to the popular belief that Thanksgiving must be kept by coming as near apoplexy as possible, and escaping with merely a fit of indigestion or a headache.”
— Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Especially to all the Stuffys out there.
To Be Or Not To Be: That Is The Adventure
“To Be Or Not To Be is an illustrated, chooseable-path book version of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, written by me, Ryan North!”
What the heck are you waiting for!! Get on over there and check it out! I made art for it and so did everyone else!
It’s a summer Friday and one of the first truly summery weekends NYC has had, which means we are OUTTA HERE, but not before sharing with you what is (in this humble person’s opinion) one of the best covers Penguin Classics has yet to put out. Illustrated by the inimitable Ross MacDonald.
We all know you’re going to see The Avengers for the 30th time this weekend, so why not bring along some reading material while you wait for the movie to start?
PS: check the introducer. RIGHT??!? Ahh!!
