Classics, re-covered

GalleyCat is spreading the word (from Canadian bookseller Thomas of Première de couverture) about some really gorgeous design work that has been done for a Vintage Classics relaunch by Random House UK, with striking modern covers gracing a slightly odd selection of “classic” works. Here Trainspotting and Ripley’s Game are standing side-by-side with The Odyssey and The Rape of the Lock. Go figure.

Anyway, the covers are pretty. And, according to the bloggers, we in Canada will have access to them, while our American cousins won’t. We’ll also get special bundles such as Tom Jones plus The Rachel Papers and Middlemarch with Possession.

    The idea of someone going from Middlemarch to The Rachel Papers absolutely warms my twisted little heart. Imagine the literary whiplash!
