Penguin brings the awesome
Penguin Books (UK) has put together some excellent book collections to fit all of your gift-giving needs. Billed as “Penguin Sets,” the collections include special covers and some come with posters. My favorites are the limited edition George Orwell/Shepard Fairey set (only £100!) and this sweet poster that accompanies the “Classic Boys’ Adventures” set:
I hope that Penguin US does something similar to save shipping costs and exchange rate calculations. No sign of epic coolness there yet though…

I’m not even sure we can get this in the states currently. I tried to buy from the UK site, and got to the point of entering in my shipping address. When they figured out I was a US address, they redirected me to the US site, before stating that they could not sell to me. Searching on the US site brings up nothing remotely close to this cool set. If you find this available in the US, please tell!

Elizabeth – I just went to check it out and the Orwell/Fairey series is sold out! Drag. I haven’t attempted to buy any of the other sets this time around.
