P-p-p-pick up a Penguin...or a Puffin

Can there be anything more instantly evocative than seeing the cover of a much-loved, and probably long-lost, children's book?

All I know is that when I clapped eyes on the cover art of The Wolves Of Willoughby Chase I was instantly transported back to 70s Leeds and reading under the eiderdown (don't worry: you won't be...that was my own childhood flashback).

Those clever peeps at Puffin are clearly aware of the nostlagia-fest that old book covers evoke as they've just collated a consummate collection, Puffin By Design,, an impressive visual feast whether you're nostlagic or not--it's simply book design at its best.

Puffin By Design is a sister companion to the equally essential Penguin By Design. You'll find both on our non-fiction table, close by the Penguin mugs and postcards.
