Penguin Decorative Classics

Penguin has always been at the forefront of designing and publishing beautiful books.  Their current line of literary classics designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith are beautiful on their own or as a set.

We sell these books in our online store both as a complete set of the 30 books currently available, as well as a make-your-own set of 10 books, or we can sell as many or as few as you would like.  We also offer a set of the 6 Charles Dickens decorative hardcover books published by Penguin in their own custom box.

These books are inspired by books from the Victorian era, but with a modern twist on the designs.  Nobody else sells these as a set, so we are doing so – you may buy a set of 5, 10, 15 or (soon) 20.  These books make wonderful gifts for weddings, housewarming presents, graduation, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc!

Below is a current list of titles available.  Occasionally some of these titles become temporarily unavailable, and every few months more titles are released, so please contact us for current availability.  As of today, all 25 of these books are available.
