Do you love them? I do! Even though I read a lot of books on my Kindle, I always check out the covers, and sometimes, I buy a print copy of the book, just to display it on my shelves. I am crazy for good covers, in a wide variety of styles. If you love them, too, check out this article on Penguin’s “Drop Cap” series. I love the article, not only because it displays large pictures of each book in the series (all 26 alphabet letters), but it also includes comments from the artist, and her favorite quotes from each book. But wait! There’s more!

The books represent the spectrum, starting with bright red, and working through orange, yellow, green and blue. Imagine the whole set displayed on your shelves! I’m going to try to collect them all. I might even READ some of them! 😀

Seriously, there are books in this set I have read, but many that I have not, and I love the variety of authors chosen. As you’ll see, each Drop Cap cover represents the author’s last initial, so they had 26 to choose from, ranging from Austen to Zafon, and including both classics and contemporary works. Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees is “K,” and the beehive worked into her initial is wonderful.

But don’t take my word for it. Head on over and look at them yourself. If you click on the Penguin link at the bottom of the article, you can buy each book from several sources, including Amazon, of course, where they are a bit less than the listed price on the Penguin site.

Thank you, Caitlin, for sharing this link with me. I want them all. Want. Want, want, want.
