ReplyDeletethank you...
Hi, The Heart of Darkness cover is from the re-package of the Penguin Classics around 2000, where they were standardized to have the consistent silver stripe and identical font. This one was published 2000, with a cover photo by Marc Atkins/Panoptika. You can see this one and others in the series at http://www.flickr.com/photos/56781833@N06/6229229944/.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection though, and good to have the designers credited.
