Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics Series

This is a compilation of all of the books available for purchase from Penguin's Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics Series set at this time. I love these covers! "Each handsome hardcover edition features decorative endpapers, a silk ribbon marker, a European-style half-round spine, and acid-free paper."
