I've thought about collecting Penguins for a while, as I had a handful of them, but have now really got into it and am planning on making it a wonderful lifelong quest. I shall have to see whether it suddenly gets harder to find them over the years...<br /><br />The PULP stamp on that cover makes me feel very sad!Accidental Londonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257232099217500179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182711239163480368.post-1929276387254548212013-12-13T10:05:22.199+11:002013-12-13T10:05:22.199+11:00I love your collection!

I read a book as a young teen and loved it but cannot remember what the title is.

I ran out of space right about, erm, a month after we bough the last bookcase! I've only started picking up Penguins in the last two years but it started when I found a box of them in a bookshop where they were being left to gather dirt (and probably mould if it got any damper in the shop!) and I just didn't want to leave them all there. I was quite broke at the time but it definitely felt good to rescue a couple of the poor orange booklings that day. :)Alex in Leedshttp://www.alexinleeds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182711239163480368.post-28902482849041432832012-07-10T07:52:50.300+10:002012-07-10T07:52:50.300+10:00Thank you Frances,I probably have another two book...Thank you Frances,I probably have another two bookshelves worth of books, a third one on right of those two that is almost full and several boxes of extra ones.
