The Art of Penguin Science Fiction

If ever there was a website that brings the pretty then it's this little labour of love.

I find myself going back to this website again and again.  Sometimes I just want to look at the covers other times I'm after something specific.  The amount of work and knowledge put into it is just staggering and I am truly in awe of the author(s).

As I'm sure is the case for many people reading these witterings the artwork of the Penguin science fiction range are things of utter beauty and adorned many of the books that defined my tastes over the years. So, to find them all in one place is magnificent.

Hope you enjoy wandering around this site as much as I have.
