Known for their classic pocketable paperbacks, both Penguin and Pelican also were behind some of the more era-defining book covers of the 60's and 70's. Designer Joe Kral's online collection is a great repository of the retro bold graphics and warm colors for anyone who's ever bought a book solely for its cover.
