It has been said here before and it will doubtless be said again, but it is nice when books look nice, when a real effort is made with their appearance. Penguin, who like their reissues, seem to be keen on this idea too (also as we have said here before), and have of late been sending out to bookshops everywhere some rather smart and dinky Puffin Classics. Its all the old standards – Little Princess, Huckleberry Finn, etc – but beautifully packaged, all pocket-sized and cloth-bound. So far there 12 in the series priced £12.99.
