Saturday, up the road and round the corner to the charity bookshop: Noah got a couple of Doctor Who novels (50p). Seth got a Thunderbirds annual and Fat Cat (50p). I got the entire Penguin Great Journeys series (£5). Beautiful David Pearson designed covers (on the Penguins that is). See them all on Flickr (the Penguins I mean).
Wow! Amazing! (can’t find much more to write but it’s from the heart)

Lovely post, thanks. Excellent shopping there. "To the Holy Shrines" is great fun. Thesiger's cool too, and owes a lot to T.E. Lawrence's "Seven Pillars" (also well worth a read). Just looking at these editions gives me itchy feet. . .

The cover designs for these books are great. I really like the way the David Pearson has chosen to use one colour theme for each book, but kept to the same design style so that you can tell that they belong together in a series. All the books retain the same style by keeping to the same colours scheme, mirroring the image on each cover and having the text align down the middle. I think this is a great example of how you can create individual designs but have them all relate to each other.

Sigh. I must admit I am envious. I have maybe 5 of them. Every time I make an amazon purchase I try to throw one or two in with it.
