Liz Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 This is just a silly little thing that I found. My Penguin is the idea where you buy a Penguin book which has a blank white front cover so that you can then design your own cover for it. If you wish to, you can then send a picture of your unique book cover to the My Penguin website gallery. I think some of them are quite good, and there are a few which I actually prefer when compared to Penguin's covers. The website and gallery can be found HERE.

Kylie Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I saw these in a Borders store recently. I was drawn to them in the shop because they were shrink-wrapped and had white covers and a sticker. I think it's an interesting idea but I would never buy one myself. I'm not very artistic and I would never be happy with my work so I'd be afraid to look at it afterwards And what if you made a mistake that couldn't be rectified?! It would be ruined! Ooh, just saw Alice in Wonderland. If I was going to have a go at any of them, Alice would be it. There's so much you could do with that one. Would you buy one Liz? If so, which would you choose?

Liz Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 I quite like most of the Dorian Gray covers, especially the ones by Nancy Catsiyannis (row 2), Victor Lestat (row 4) and Rob Williams (row 10). I also like Crime and Punishment by Aurora Zambouni (row 5) and Meditations by Gdoc (row 6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Some of them are really impressive! If you were good at art, it would make a lovely present for a booklover.. you could buy their favourite book, and give it to them with a unique cover, drawn by you. (Unfortunately, my unique cover would be a few stick figures! lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Andrea~ Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Wow some of them are really good aren't they. I like the first Dorian Gray too (row 1) And some of the Grimm tales covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
