Penguin repackages the classics, including Wuthering Heights, The Picture of Dorian Grey, Tess of the D’Ubervilles, Cranford, Jane Eyre and Sense and Sensibility. Jane Smiley writes:
They are beautiful, they are tactile, covered in cloth with embossed designs. When I invite my friends over, they look at the covers, flip them over, feel the deckle-edged pages, open them to see the typeface. One friend, busy and involved with the newest of new media, at once imagines herself reclining on a brown leather couch and reading “Jane Eyre” (578 pp., $20) at her leisure — 26 ounces, black covers embossed with shiny red leaves, a red ribbon bookmark twinkling from the bottom edge.
