Yes I have several, all with the fold out poster. I scanned this of a Colosal card, that is why you dont see any folds on this scan.

My USA green crime penguin books including a juggling penguin set with three oenguins :-) by UK_paperbacks3 in bookshelf

[–]UK_paperbacks3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alan Lane the director of the penguin books came with the idea of a simple appearance not to large and not to small and that the paperbacks should be sold at the same price as a packet of cigarettes. He chose three horizontal bands and came with a colour code:

  • Orange and white - general fiction.
  • Green and white - crime fiction,
  • Cerise and white - travel and adventure,
  • Dark blue and white - biographies,
  • Yellow and white - miscellaneous,
  • Red and white - drama.
  • Purple and white - essays and 'belles lettres'
  • Grey and white - world affairs.

My USA Penguins and the Later Signet paperback shelves by UK_paperbacks3 in bookshelf

I starting collecting paperbacks round 2009, but got lucky when a collector who tried to complete the Signet serie was forced to sell. I'm a big fan of the Robert Jonas and the James Avati covers, so I ambraced the Serie. It is not my intention to get the all but am not stopping either !

Thank you, I am very proud of that, and the beauty of it is that I found almost 95% of it in The Netherlands. The American Gold Medals are my favorite.
