Penguins
I have been collecting pre-1970 books published by Penguin Books for the last few years and, inevitably, have acquired many duplicates. The books which will gradually be added to this collection are ones which I would hope most fellow penguin enthusiasts would be happy to have as an item on their shelves. I personally prioritise spines over covers, as I want books to look as pleasing on the shelf as possible . You can therefore expect most of the items listed here to have good square spines with minimal wear. Any minor faults will be noted in the description (images should be considered part of the description).
I also have many other duplicates which have been acceptable space-fillers in my collection while I have waited to acquire a better copy. You can view and download a list of these here.
