Penguin Classics

What's so bad about Penguin Classics Veeky Forums?

They inspire jealousy.

They inspire jealousy.

That shelf is hideous.

Look pretty ugly/generic.
Shit translations a lot of the time.
Some covers are nice tho.

They would be perfect if they used good quality paper .

Does anyone know the title of the shirtless muscle-man book next to his nose?

I dont mind penguin classic but good god that shelf looks disgusting

Bad spines
Pages that yellow fast
Not always the best translations

the final criticism is pretty retarded since what publisher always is the best translation? also ill add that i have like '85 penguin classics with some yellowing in pages and spines in perfect condition. i think you guys just have a complex.
