I love the text snippets on the covers. It makes the classics seem so current and, well, sexy.
You can see the entire set on the UK Penguin website.
It's for a good cause: a portion of the money raised from the sale of the books goes to help fight AIDS in Africa.

Wow, those are SEXY, you're right.
Oh wow. I love these!
very cool. had not seen these yet...
Yes it has a completely new image but with the remind of the past, natural forms on the text, like modernism, arts and crafts...
(I will check on the librery, thanks for sharing...)

These are definitely worth obsessing about! I love them and love the classics too :-)
Just want to grab that Vanity Fair off the screen: the entire book summed up in 3 beautifully illustrated little words!
These. Are. Fantastic.
I want posters of them!
They look so richly decadent and you are right - sexy. I love Penguin, they know what book lovers love.
How incredibly inviting! I am getting on that band waggon:) Gorgeous new covers!
These are fantastic!
The beauty of the typed word, the glory of classic and (not so classic) fonts, all in all a victory of the conventional book!!!
A treasure not only to read, but also to look at, to have!!!
love this typography!
I have some earrings up for grabs on my blog. Check it out!
