I die for a good book cover.

So I was positively drooling over the Penguin hardcover classics when they were released a couple of years ago.  Designer Coralie Bickford-Smith created some really lovely linen covers for these classics. I love all the color!


I think many people were aware of these covers when they first came out.  But did you know that after she released her initial design of a few classics, she subsequently continued to design more covers for more classics?  Great news, right?  Right!  Now you can get the Jane Austen Collection, or choose from several others.  Here are some of my favorites:
They're all so pretty, I can't choose a favorite.  I just love looking at them.  They would make a fantastic birthday or Christmas present, no?  Hint, hint, spouse.
