Plugging the Penguin Collectors' Society is becoming a bi-annual event but Ben joined recently so I thought it worthwhile adding weight to his suggestion to join.
Along with The Penguin Collector, which features an article by Colin Forbes, Penguin and Young Graphic Designers, this time I got a book dedicated to Penguin Classics with articles on cover designs over the years, including Pentagrams rejected (but lovely) covers from 2001; and another book Penguin Days, Tanya Schmoller's memoir of her life at Penguin Books" - which commemorates her 90th birthday.
It's superb value for money and they have a load of great people working very hard to keep the quality of content top notch.
If you don't stop with this, I am going to have trouble explaining a new habit to the wife.
I do enjoy a challenge, though.

I joined last year, thanks to you ! Just received the last issue of PC + the two books. It's like having a second birthday every year.
(Hope my English is not too clumsy.)

Your English is perfect. I know what you mean about a second birthday: every six months is just long enough to forget about it so, for me, it's always a very pleasant surprise.
