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.

Anyone of a certain age will remember loads of these book covers from childhood. When the lovely box was opened my husband and I enjoyed rifling through the cards remembering books that we had read as children in the 70's. Lovely, good quality cards in a sturdy box. Great as birthday cards, but you're sure to want to keep some of them...

All the postcards are a trip down memory lane - look to see how many books you recall!
So much variety they have been invaluable for sending someone a quick message.

Great For Analogue E-mail
Some postcards sets can seem too good to send, but these strike the right balance - not too expensive and of good quality, but so cheap as to be considered as nicer post-it... Read more
