White's Pocket Classics

Found these attractive new Pocket Classics from White's Books last Saturday at Kinokuniya. They are white hardcover books, nicely done with cover illustrations by Joe McLaren, printed on paper cases and embossed to give them a letterpress look. They’ve got head and tail bands, and ribbon bookmarks. Prices are reasonable as well, less than SGD20.00 per copy, i mean, for hardcover.










White's books is apparently a project run under the art direction of David Pearson, an ex-Penguin designer who worked on projects like the Great Ideas series, and the cheap green Popular Classics. You can find a number of lovely cover designs at his site.
