@marcouccellini @cavalry__app @PenguinBooks @ironbridgebooks I have asked my favourite Pelican expert. Artist is Patrick McCreeth. You might also like to check out his design for Frankl's Psychotherapy and Existentialism. I do feel that if we are commending the design we should laud the artist 😎.. so now we have!

@marcouccellini @cavalry__app @PenguinBooks @ironbridgebooks Brilliant cover; is it credited?

@Chris_Co1e I expect someone in the department took it home to read. We used to put ours in the break room and they were free to take. Fun find. Ofc it might have had the stamp for another reason. If withdrawn maybe.

@BenMcCroryFBI @PenguinUKBooks @penguinrandom @penguinusa @PenguinClassics @PenguinBooks @oldpenguinbooks @PenguinHuddleUK I love the simplicity of the David Gentleman cover. I recall the Simpson cover from English studies and thought it very romantic :)

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word fact of the day: ‘penguin’ is one of the few words in the dictionary of Welsh origin: it comes from ‘pen gwyn’, ‘white head’.

(And a reminder that penguins were also once known affectionately as ‘arsefeet’.)
