Chic and Nerdy


Just when you think the nerd chic look couldn't get any further, Penguin decides to publish three classics with brand new covers by illustrator Ruben Toledo.  It's a great update for the old covers that scream, "I'm a classic!  I'm boring!".  Maybe this will get more people reading... or pretending to read just to look smart.  Anything that can help sales is good in this recession!

  8. these are ACTUALLY fantastic books. not boring. and if i caught anyone reading these "pretty versions" i would only frown at them. for thinking they would look trendy buy buying something trendy. that is compeltely gay.
