Penguin Classics 2010
Price: a gift from Friend 2; back indicates it was $6.99, reduced to $4.99
History: Friend 2 returned from America with three rather lovely presents for me.
Look: This is the best of the three covers, a very punchy cartoon-style youth with a cold, savage expression. It's simplicity - three colours, line drawing - is eyecatching and alluring. Dark blue isn't a colour I'd associate with the book, but it works marvellously. A favourite design.
Introductions/appendices:
Short biography and chronology, plus a facimile of the original front page - nothing worth writing about.
Captured: ?-8-10
