Which penguin is the most popular?



Gatsby is! There was another 75 popular penguins released last month
but these are the best sellers from the original 99.


1. The Great Gatsby - Fitzgerald F Scott
2. Breakfast at Tiffany's - Capote Truman
3. The Picture of Dorian Gray - Wilde Oscar
4. In Cold Blood - Capote Truman
5. Lolita - Nabokov Vladimir
6. Clockwork Orange - Burgess Anthony
7. Love in the Time of Cholera - Marquez Gabriel Garcia
8. On The Road - Kerouac Jack
9. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Kesey Ken
10. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Doyle Arthur Conan

When  Penguin paperbacks launched in 1935 they were colour coded (orange for fiction, blue for biography, green for crime) and they cost a sixpence (the same price as a packet of cigarettes.)

I think the cloth bound versions are dreamy.
