Penguin Crime

Generally speaking, the original triple stripe design is thought to be the classic Penguin but I can't help feel that once you've seen one, you've seen them all. For me, it's the Marber Grid era that rules. The geometrically constructed grid system, into which Penguin dropped strong illustrations and innovative photo montages, helped to perpetuate a powerful and consistant brand.

Hello.
I feel lucky that I stumbled upon your website, especially with the massive amount of Penguin love displayed all over.
I admire your photos of the paperbacks and wondered if maybe you wouldn't mind taking more full-on photos of some covers for me to turn into posters for myself. My walls are bare and what better to look at then Penguin covers?
If you are willing, please let me know.
Cheers,
Kyle.
