All My Pelicans: Part 1

Every now and then I mention my loft-based Pelican collection and make an empty promise to get them online. Well here they are, or at least nearly half of them. You may have seen some of them before but I'm trying to get them all together and present them in a consistent way (on a knackered old box).

Stand out covers include Jock Kinnier's startlingly contemporary design for Sex in Society, the brilliant David Gentleman's cover for Aspects of the Novel and Herbert Spencer's cunning solution for A Short History of Religion.

Three colours?
If you get the chance to see David Gentleman give a talk, do go. Much better than some I've been to. (Eg recent d&ad Vince Frost, flashonthebeach Neville Brody)
