In April this year<\/a> I wrote about James Pardey’s excellent site<\/a> devoted to book covers from the Penguin science fiction range. I’m often pointing to various book cover galleries on Flickr and elsewhere but James’s site goes far beyond these, with credits and annotations for every cover on display. He emailed this week to let me know that his site has been considerably expanded, from 160 covers to 250 (!), bringing the timeline closer to the present. In addition the site has improved page layouts which enable you to study the evolution of each title. All design sites should be this good.<\/p>\n

And coincidentally, Anne S mentioned in the comments yesterday that she’s been adding some Penguin Classics covers to her Eye Candy for Bibliophiles<\/a> site. Lots of other worthwhile viewing there, including some of the old Puffin covers for Alan Garner<\/a>.<\/p>\n
