Penguin Little Black Classics

Blog · Posted May 27, 2015

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY PENGUIN!

To celebrate 80 years of publishing, Penguin have released the the Little Black Classics. Pocket size snippets from 80 classics, for 80p each!

After scouring through the stacks, picking the ones we wanted for ourselves – we decided to continue the penguin party throughout the shop. Including a window display filled with books and coffee from another OCC (Ouseburn Coffee Company) whose coffee we sell in our DELI. We like to think coffee plays a big part in fueling classic literature!
