When my darling sponsor, Molly of Sunshine on a Cloudy Day, posted about these Postcards from Penguin yesterday I knew we were fated to be friends! Each of the set of 100 cards depicts a different iconic Penguin Classics cover. Wouldn’t you just love to mail them to all your cute bookworm friends?
I love these … I think these are just the best! Thanks for the link back, Katie.
Molly — Thank YOU for bringing them to our attention! You always find the best stuff!! xox
I loved these postcards and included them in a post back in February. I’ve hung so many of them around the apartment. I have the following hanging in my bedroom: The Big Sleep, Tender is the Night, and A Room of One’s Own. Perfect for sleeping, I think.
Joanna — You’re way ahead of me! Clearly I need to catch up on my Lark reading, I am terribly out the loop! Those do sound perfect for sleeping. I can’t wait to get my hands on a set : )
would it be selfish to say that i wouldn’t want to send these lovelies away? i rather keep them for myself….
clever!
they’re definitely on my christmas list. i cant wait to thumb through them all. and 100 for $25, thats a steal! it’d be wrong not to take advantage of that.
I think that I am going to get them and frame them for my daughters room.
i must have these! and i love molly’s blog. you always link me up with the best sites. thanks katie!!! :)
These were first introduced in England about a year ago and I just couldn’t wait for them to come stateside so I bought them on ebay! I framed a bunch of my favorites and made a gallery wall in our last apartment. So great! xo
Katie – love these – and included them in my “Booked” post along with Penguin’s new book about their book jackets – you’ll love that book – check it out!
Marni — I’m glad you love Molly’s blog as much as I do! Brilliant, right? xx
Lindsay — Ahead of the curve, that’s my girl! xo
Oh I do love these! I was thinking about getting some for J for our first anniversary (it is paper!) but I think I would end up using all of them before him!

Oh my goodness! This is so fantastic! I would frame them… all of them!
I’m dying. Love these! I would love to see a whole framed display wall of these. Awesome find!
O man. Super cute!

Those are great, and would be a wonderful present for any friend who loves to read or write.
I actually have these and rotate them in a frame. I’m a giant “Jeeves and Wooster” fan (I have all the books and the Hugh Laurie/Steven Fry box set!), and I framed a big tea-towel of the Penguin “Carry On, Jeeves” cover for my husband, just because. It’s in our office at home.
Also, I think my husband bought me (for Christmas) a poster of all the redesigns of the Penguin logo, I think you’d love it. If I can find it online, I’ll send it to you (we found it at our local independent bookhouse).
yes!! i adore these. how cute would they be framed up in a library/reading corner? (p.s. have you seen the louis vuitton city postcard set??? you might love them :)

i received a box of these lovelies back in January as a birthday present and promptly spent a fun afternoon picking and sticking about half of them up on my wal;, room brighter, book-worm sated and some decorating done all in one go!
Absolutely love these… I think my 4th grade teacher had all of these on our classroom bookshelf!
Bisous,
Rachel
