bookmark: the pelican project...

the pelican project


{the pelican project via chance}


thanks to things magazine, we all have access to a spectacular archive of the now-defunct pelican book series. i had no idea that pelican publishing was an offshoot of its parent company, penguin. although if i had stopped to think about it for two seconds, it would have made perfect sense. pelican was known in the 30s-90s as the more informational and educational branch of the publishing company. i love the graphic quality of seeing these all lined up in a grid, don't you? now i have another collection of things to haunt ebay for. great.

I love these myself and have probably all of the volumes published related to the medieval period. Luckily any musty second hand book store has piles and piles of Pelicans!

My housemate made a poster out of 100 postcard book of classic Penguin and Puffin covers - they do look rather delicious all lined up in a grid. I wonder why they don't make a book of the Pelicans, too?
