   What do you like most about Penguin Books?

   • I really like them--especially the work they are doing with book design. A lot of "classic" series are quite ugly, but Penguin is hiring actual artists to design their books. I also like Everyman's Library, which is probably higher quality, but a bit less creative in execution (they are still attractive, though).

   Are Penguin Classics any good?

   • Penguin Classics are alright as they have pretty decent notes and the paper quality's quite good but if I had to choose a translated work, I'd normally go with something from Everyman's Library. If you're looking for affordable classics, Signet Classics (New American Library) would be good as they tend to be around $10 or less.

   How did Penguin Classics help you through college?

   • Particularly, the Penguin Classics helped me a lot through college because I could rely on the edition and it offered some critical studies, and the design of the page is really something special compared to other cheap editions of classics. Of course, If I had more money I would go to Norton's books.
