Every Publisher Should Do This

This book is simply a catalogue of all 1300+ Penguin Classics books in print. They are listed by author with a short summary of the contents of each book. Mind you these are all books of classical literature ranging from Aquinas to Yeats; you won't find Danielle Steel in this catalog. It's a great way to discover books that you didn't know were in print. I spent over an hour browsing through it, and ended up buying several titles. What prompted me to write this review is that Penguin put out this catalog as a free giveaway. I just picked up mine today from a stack of them in my local bookstore. It just seemed strange that people are selling these books that are marked "Free" on the cover.
