Old Wordsworth blue series

Simple and good looking, not like the newer black ones with horseshit images on them

I really dislike the Heart of Darkness cover.
Also The Mill on the Floss's cover is better than the actual book.

Tusquets Andanzas and Oxford World's Classics.

I love the old Signet Classics

Besides occasionally having questionable images, I think the modern Penguin design is pretty solid

That doesn't look very good at all

Is the quality any good at least?

also a fan

I'm on the fence about Dalkey's covers for their Norwegian literature series. On one hand I enjoy the minimalism, but on the other they're a bit on the edgy side. Thoughts, lads?

>>8536298
yup, they are far better than most of uk/usa paperbacks, reprints. (not mass)

>the cover has real life photo's instead of art

>>8533849
Something consistent where the white pieces in the middle are the same width and the same shade of green is used, for example.

There's something appealing about old paperbacks. I think they could get away with more stylish designs because they were cheap and disposable. Hardcovers from the same period are a lot more prosaic.
