Postcards From Penguin: 100 Book Jackets in One Box Novelty Book – Box Calendar, 5 Nov. 2009

Yes its 100 different real postcards. Actual postcards which can be posted through the mail, space on the back for address and message plus a few words about the subject. The quality is really very good, better than some postcards on sale from the racks. A nice sturdy box containing 100 nice sturdy useable postcards.The illustrations are of course book covers from the Penguin range over the decades so there is a great variety. Some well known classic titles and some pretty obscure. Mostly the plain block colour but a proportion illustrated. Good value? I promise you won't use them all ..!

This box of 100 postcards illustrating a range of Penguin Books paperback covers from the late 1930's up to the 1970's (will a further box of more recent covers appear?) is terrific and effectively offers a museum of design for your own home! The high standards of work maintained by the company and the designers it employed throughout are impressive. It is good to see that, for the most part, the individual designers are identified although the person who devised the original characteristic horizontal white and orange division, the first Production Manager, Edward Young, is not credited as far as I can tell. However later designers and illustrators are named, such as Jan Tschichold, Stephen Russ, Germano Facetti, Romek Marber, Denise York, Alan Spain and Alan Aldridge.Highly recommended. But which of these great postcards will you ever want to part with?

I can't add very much to the other ecstatic reviews for this product. The box (at least at Amazon's discounted price) offers tremendous value for money for 100 postcards, and I really can't put a price tag on quite how much happiness they have brought me.I went through the full set and found cards of all the Puffin books I read as a child, and was absolutely flooded with nostalgia. My favourites are now tacked onto my study wall, and bring me such a glow of joy whenever I see them.This would make a wonderful small present for yourself or for friends, and certainly no bookworm who grew up in the 1970s should be without it. I've also since bought the adult Penguin postcard box (slightly lacking the huge charm of the Puffin illustrations, but still brilliant fun); I'm now longing for some bright spark at the publishing house to bring out Peter and Jane and Enid Blyton versions.

This is a wonderful box set of postcards of classic bookcovers. The pictures are high quality renditions and there is a great range of classics in here. I bought this as a gift for book lover and it was very popular. They took the decision to frame a number of the postcards and they look great framed up around the house. There are classic covers here from stories we all remember - Wizard of Oz; Treasure Island; Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe; Stig of the Dump; The Secret Garden a veritable treasure trove of classic children's literature. These would be great to send or to keep.

These are AMAZING! I bought them to use for work events, and they've been a hit with everyone. Everyone has commented on the interesting covers, they've started conversations about having read the books, whether the title is appropriate for a particular individual, and even people asking me if they can take them home to frame them. The quality of the card is great - really thick, high quality, better than the average tourist postcard. And excellent value as well. All in all, a sensational success and exactly what I needed - so glad I bought two boxes :-)

Postcards from Puffin: 100 Book Covers in One BoxPostcards From Penguin: 100 Book Jackets in One BoxThe joy and delight from these 2 boxes for a voracious reader from childhood is immeasureable. Not only are there a scattergun of memories lurking to spring out and delight you but also a witty answer to every postcard need. Thank you card? Birth of a new child? Moving house? Congratulations? Remember when? Birthday? you will find a card suitable for any occasion - personalised far more intelligently than any computer generated one. Also they are beautiful in themselves; a group of them framed would also look stunning. No more my friends - just buy them and love them.

Absolutely superb collection of beautifully made and presented book covers in the form of postcards, and they are not just Penguins there are some Pelicans mixed in to, all 100 are contained within a box, which actually looks like a book.Not necessarily for the sake of nostalgia either, although there are certainly some excellent reproductions of famous,and some, at their time, infamous books.Actually, there are also some pretty obscure titles amongst this fairly eclectic mix, nevertheless, there will certainly be a great time had whilst thinking who to send the various postcards to.Good fun, great as a gift, or simply keep for yourself perhaps use whilst on holiday, or just to say hallo to the various bookworms in your life

I bought it as a birthday gift for my wife, because she is a posrcrosser.She loves every cards so much.She can’t be able to send it yet.I can’t bought this postcard box in Japan anywhere even net shops.So I bought from Amazon UK.
