The first 10 Penguin books
- Ariel - Andre Maurois
- A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway
- Poet's Pub - Eric Linklater
- Madame Claire - Susan Ertz
- The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club - Dorothy L. Sayers
- The Mysterious Affair at Styles - Agatha Christie

The colours used to indicate subject matter – initially just orange for fiction, green for crime, dark blue for biography, cerise for travel & adventure, red for plays..
After doing some research into the typeface originally used for the penguin books I found out that Gill Sans was the main one used therefore I have decided to use this typeface in my designs as I want to pay respect to the history of penguin books.
