"With
a mixture of fiction and non-fiction and a historical span that begins with Shakespeare
and finishes at the end of the 20th Century, there's something here for every
reader", according to Penguin's Sales Director Peter Blake.
"Popular
Penguins" were originally developed to appeal to fans of the Penguin Classics
series and to bring new readers to some of the greatest literature ever written.
In keeping with the 1935 vision of founding publisher Allen Lane, the "Popular
Penguins" deliver "intelligent books for a vast reading public"
at an affordable price for everybody. Since their initial publication in September
2008, the series has sold over 300,000 copies.
