several rows of books are stacked on the shelves

Arranging books according to color has become quite popular and looks great. However, it is a method that can result in placing paleontology next to poetry and novels next to non-fiction, a troubling thought indeed! That's why I adore the color-coding system that Penguin has been using 1935, wherein each genre is assigned a color and the spine (and sometimes the cover) of works within that genre are printed in the designated color.

"Wow!" people say, "Those books must be worth a fortune !" They may be worth a fortune but more for me providing a fortune to other people as I snap them up everywhere I go.

four books are laid out on a bed

✌️Two for Tuesday + Penguin Editions✌️ Showing off the gawjus + different @penguinclassics editions that I have on my shelves. I’m not one for collecting special editions, but so lucky to have these 🤩 The Jane Austen Penguin Red classics are my fave but *correct me if I’m wrong* I don’t think they publish them anymore 😭 I love the illustrations on the Penguin Essentials, perfect bright covers in a dainty little book (feat.
