12.21: This giveaway is now closed. The winner is Caroline. Congratulations!
I may not write about it here much, but I spend most days of the week sitting in an office in a university library typesetting books and journals. It might not be the most exciting job ever (I sometimes spend hours manually formatting italic text, for example), but it gives me the opportunity to work with books, my first love. I have learned so much about typography and about how books are made in the past few years, and it has also deepened my appreciation of book design.
Penguin Classics recently began releasing a new series called Drop Caps, made up of collectible editions of classic texts with covers designed by Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckle. There are six in the series thus far: A for Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, B for Brontë’s Jane Eyre, C for Cather’s My Ántonia, D for Dickens’ Great Expectations, E for Eliot’s Middlemarch, and F for Flaubert’s Madame Bovary (translated by Lydia Davis—this is a great translation, by the way). I don’t run giveaways very often but this is one that I was excited to
do, since it will mean that someone will get two classic novels, to read or, if the book is already beloved, enjoy
adding to his or her collection.
Penguin sent me a copy of the Drop Caps Jane Eyre, which is one of my favourite books. It would seem that I can’t own enough editions of this book! This one is really quite lovely and I’m looking forward to seeing the full, colourful alphabet. All 26 spines next to each other are going to make a beautiful spectrum of beautiful literature.
For a chance to win two books from the Drop Caps series, please leave a comment below telling me which two books you would choose, and please be sure to include a means by which I can contact you if you win (an email address, a link to a blog, etc). This giveaway is open internationally. Comments are moderated to prevent spam; your comment might not appear right away but it will be registered. I will close comments on Friday, December 21.
Good luck!
(I was not compensated financially for this giveaway but I was given the copy of Jane Eyre.)
I would definitely pick the Cather as I am naming my daughter (due in March) Willa, and I would pick Jane Eyre because I love it! dmsmith33@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous giveaway, I'm SO excited, Thank you thank you!

I love Jessica's work! I would choose Pride & Prejudice and Jane Eyre in order to start my collection off on the right foot!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to see Jane Eyre & Madame Bovary in my bookshelf!
ReplyDeletehi! i would choose jane eyre and pride & prejudice. thanks :)
ReplyDeletesuch a lovely giveaway! there is something so romantic about working so closely with books, like you do. sometimes i think about diverting from my current path (even though i don't really know what that is) and studying library sciences once i complete my PhD as a way to combine my background in art history with my love of books. there is a secret magic hidden in the materiality of books.
ReplyDeletei think i would choose B (Jane Eyre) and F (Madame Bovary), two of my favourite classics. i love collectible editions and this new series is especially gorgeous. thank you so much!
oh, and i also wanted to say thank you for your full disclosure about the terms of the giveaway!
DeleteI would love to read Austins' Pride & Prejudice and Dickens’ Great Expectations. Thanks for the great chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely! I hadn't seen them yet. I would choose Middlemarch and Great Expectations. Thank you for highlighting these editions! http://choosingconstellations.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThis giveaway is FANTASTIC! Over the years, my loved ones have helped me build a collection of Pride & Prejudice editions ranging from early editions in leather to copies from the 70s with blue edges. A is for Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice is a natural choice. Also, B if for Charlotte Bronte is my second choice as it's my favorite book of all time. I've read it cover to cover once every year since I was 16. That's a lot of years. Thanks for such a literary treat, Anabela!
ReplyDeletegahhh Jessica Hische + Penguin Classics, sign me up. I would love the first two books: Austen is a hero of mine (I began reading her around age 12, she was a large part of my 'coming of age times'), and Brontë's Jane Eyre I actually just re-read this year (and loved it again) but it would be lovely to have this special version on my shelves. Drop Cap dreams la la la. Crossing fingers, lady, cheers!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have to choose My Antonia because it is one of my favorites, and Madame Bovary because I've always wanted to read it! What beautiful, beautiful books.

Fun! I'd go for "Pride and Prejudice" and "Jane Eyre". Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love Jessica Hische's work, and am so glad to see glorious drop-caps getting center stage on a book cover. I'd have to go with 'Jane Eyre' as well, and 'My Antonia' only because it's the lone book on the list I haven't read.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are gorgeous! I love Jessica Hische's work so much!
ReplyDeleteI would choose Jane Eyre and Pride and Pejudice :)
It's quite difficult to choose between deciding for the title or deciding for the Drop Cap -- the letters are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhy not start from the top, then eventually collect them all? "Pride & Prejudice" and "Jane Eyre" would be lovely.

So hard to choose! I'm tempted to add Jane Eyre and My Antonia to my collection, as they are two of my all time favorites. But I think I'd have to choose Middlemarch and Madame Bovary because I haven't read them yet! The 'F' cover is awesome too! They're all beautiful!
ReplyDeletejkroeper20@gmail.com

I would choose Jane Eyre and Great Expectations because I'm gonna graduate from university in March and for my English Literature state examination I still need to read both of these! What a coincidence!
ReplyDeletekate[at]alphafrau[dot]de
beautiful desgins! i'd pick great expectations and madame bovary as they're the only two i don't already own!
ReplyDeletejessbialkowski@gmail.com
The two books I would choose are My Antonia, because I haven't read it but have heard very good things, and Jane Eyre, because I adore the story and this edition looks so beautiful. I love the way typography and design are being used to make books items to covet in the face of digitalisation. x
ReplyDeletehelenaksinclair@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! I totally hate myself every time I move because of my book collection (multiple copies of the same book - so necessary!), but the thought of paring it down is worse than whatever logistical stresses it causes. I'd love to have the copies of Jane Eyre and Pride & Prejudice.

ReplyDeleteWilla Cather and Austen, of course!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read Madame Bovary for a while, so I would choose that because I don't yet have a copy. For the second I would choose Great Expectations because I haven't read that one either. The covers are just lovely, nothing better than drooling over some nice typography.

ReplyDeleteI would choose pride and prejudice! i love the story. what beautiful cover design!

ReplyDeleteJane Eyre is one of my favorite books of all time. As an English teacher, I try to instill the passion for reading in all my students always encouraging them to read classics, such a Bronte. Lovely giveaway.
