Penguin deluxe edition





Those sneaky monsters at Penguin have collected together an evil array of the finest modern illustrators to breath life (and money) into some old classic. Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware, Tom Gould, Charles Burns have all contributed, and like the slave I am I have snapped up their work. The books are beautifully crafted paper backs, some with gorgeous rough leaves and extra comic illustrations on the inside cover and back, what more could you ask for. However they are simply rebrands of old stories. But you can't fault penguins logic, their books look beautiful and people are increasingly visually aware.
