Penguin Popular Classics

Series of paperback editions From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Penguin Popular Classics, issued in 1994, are paperback editions of texts under the Classics imprints. They were created as a response to Wordsworth Classics, a series of very cheap reprints that imitated Penguin in using black as its signature colour.[1] The series started with editions with individual painted motives by various painters, but switched to a uniform bright green colour in 2007.[citation needed] Penguin Books dropped Popular Classics in 2013.[2]
