nice threads

I  have a weakness for the classic orange and cream colour scheme of Penguin books but I really love when Penguin does special editions like these clothbound hardcovers or the Great Food series (which is on my wish list).  They've really outdone themselves this time with the "Penguin Threads"

Penguin commissioned artist Jillian Tamaki to embroider covers for three classic books.  If you've got someone on your Christmas list who loves both crafts and literature, your gift-giving dilemmas are solved.  Gorgeous!
