It is so exciting! Penguin has relaunched its Pelican edition. Since May the first five new paperbacks with non fiction by well known writers are on the market. Two of them have arrived in the bookshop, Revolutionary Russia and Economics, - more to follow. Come in and have a look at the books.

You can find an informative Guardian article covering this event, included is a neat YouTube clip which is fun to watch.

Here is all Pelican which has gathered over the years in our shelves, all well read, as one can see. What a great time to start discovering with Pelican!
