Penguin paint-yer-own-cover (illustrated)
Price: £5
History: This was a present from Friend 2.
Look: This unique copy comes with a completely blank cover, with the idea you design it yourself. What anguish that idea has caused me. Not a picture of Dorian himself, that's certain. Or the author. Which leaves, what? The painting with the purple pall over it? Floorboards have been suggested, and I'm fond of a stylised chaos of intricate beautiful things with fantastic creatures crawling from the corners. In any case, I'd never be able to design something to my satisfaction, but it is a pleasing torment to mull over. I even think a copy of Dorian Gray without a cover is strangely fitting.
Introduction/Appendices: The same as my original Penguin copy.
