Simply put: I adore
Vintage Classics. What is being sold on American bookshelves--I believe and witness--are an older line of production; recent but not the latest, which can be previewed on their website, linked above. But I'm positively in love with the cover designs; here are two themes:
 |
| Fyodor Dostoevsky: Minimalism |
 |
| F. Scott Fitzgerald: Lackadaisical |
From the Vintage Classics 2010 collection, I'm especially digging
Vintage Hardy (simplistic lifestyle),
Vintage Twain (carefree sketch),
Vintage Vonnegut (I find that all Vonnegut covers tend to do Vonnegut justice--these are modern fun and particularly even more colourful than Dial Press Trade), and even
Vintage Austen is alluring. They all range differently price-wise but on Amazon, they're about the same price as Oxford World's Classics, which are also a package of excellent cover presentation. The newest Vintage papercovers came out in 2010, Oxford in 2009, and all are sweet temptations for my wallet and a great motivator to help reach my ever-constant-goal of reaching 50 novels a year.
