Postcards from Puffin: 100 Book Covers in One BoxPostcards From Penguin: 100 Book Jackets in One Box
The 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.

Got given 100 Penguin bookcovers (bought from Amazon)which i then framed up and hung on the wall. Looks ace. Bought this Puffin postcards to do similar but the covers are so delightful i've sent loads of them. Inspired me to get in touch with friends and relations.
A well made product, bizarrely tactile and holds such a range of covers it's like opening a jewellery box. postcards are nicely laminated matte and are a sturdy card. Recommended as a treat for yourself or as an unusual but pleasing gift.

In a stroke of genius, Puffin books have celebrated their 70th anniversary by releasing a boxed collection of 100 postcards featuring Puffin book covers. The jackets range from graphic 1950s gems - with non-fiction very much to the fore - to classics of children's fiction, such as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Secret Garden. As a former keen member of the Puffin Club, it was such a treat to sift through the postcards, triggering memories of books that I'd forgotten I knew. I've given the box as a present to a friend who loves her children's books and she was absolutely enchanted. Even at the full price, the postcards are a bargain. Go ahead, treat yourself to a happy journey down memory lane . . . Postcards from Puffin: 100 Book Covers in One Box

Lovely images - I just couldn't resist these. Not entirely sure what I'll do with them as I think they're too nice to use as postcards, and would I want to break up the set? Read more

Probably the best £8 I've ever spent
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... Read more
