One of my top five favorite blogs has to be Design*Sponge. The post today about the Penguin Classic books reminded me of some books I have around my house that were purchased from a thrift store. (For a quarter, you got ten books!) Sure these Reader Digest’s from the 60s, 70s and 80s are gently used, but I love the patterns on the covers and they are perfect for stacking up to boost a framed photo or tucking into a shelf of a plant stand.
