This could sell in the gift shop next to an exhibition of the Domesday Book. So in that way Penguin could cash in. I remember there being plenty of Magna Carta related items in the British Library when they had an exhibition some years ago...

7:30 we know what you're talking about from the title!

Les Miserables is my favourite novel, i've never seen the musical. I'm not really defending the book, but i do enjoy it.

[@duffypratt]

Perhaps they were misinformed that Andrew Lloyd Weber was going to make it into a musical?

[@shmizzleshmazzle9830]

It's kind of irrational how upset I am that Morrissey has a penguin classic.

[@vilstef6988]

By comparison, Samuel Pepys's diary suddenly has literary merit.

[@vilstef6988]

Why does Penguin's edition of Domesday Book exist? An editor at Penguin really hated trees.

[@scallydandlingaboutthebooks]

They must regret the Morrissey now. It has been the target of such opprobrium. Heaven knows why they did this one. Maybe they were persuaded it would be a public service.

Since the first time you got this book in the mail (circa 2017) for no apparent reason, i 've found the image of you holding this monstrous brick very much disturbing .

The historical footnotes would be a great read! How it was pulled off the political makeup at the time etc. Why didn't penguin go that route?! I to am confused.
