Classic Penguins - only come in orange?

Think classic Penguin books only come in orange?

Think again...

While the iconic Penguin brand most commonly seen in vintage book sales is orange, there is infact a veritable kaleidoscope of colours available.

Each colour denotes a particular genre:
Orange: fiction
Green: murder mystery
Pink: biography
Blue: essays
Red: plays
Yellow: factual papers

At The Vintage Wren we always  have a range of Penguin Books in Stock.  Take a look at our facebook page or contact us for more information.

How to judge the date of a book by its cover:
Coloured bands top and bottom - 1940s nd 1950s
Coloured bands left and right - 1960s
Photo on the front - 197-s
