Penguin’s second rendition of the Classics series, which began in 1963 with the incorporation of the Marber grid, and ran until 1985. The style of the series was left untouched throughout these 22 years; however, collecting the series is more problematic because of the substitution of ISBNs for the number coding on the spines of the books halfway through the life of the series. The first 125 titles share the same number as their first edition counterparts; later titles, however, are more difficult to organize.
Complicating things further: the series actually overlaps with the third edition, which used the same ISBN numbers, so the later numbers can be very confusing. The series appears to end with a bilingual, trade-sized edition of The Poem of the Cid, and a handful of the books are larger than the usual mass market size. Several works were also republished under new translations (Eugene Onegin: L151, L394, and The Theban Plays: L3, L425). I have included these when there is a new cover, but it’s very possible that I missed a couple.
Only one book in the series breaks with the standard cover design, The Tale of Genji (L390). This book has traditional Japanese art on the cover, and bears no resemblance to the rest of the series, save for the words “Penguin Classics” on the top right corner.
Lastly: certain books in the ISBN era, based on my search, have only produced evidence of 3rd edition covers despite being in the 2nd edition area of the numbering. I have included these at the bottom. If you own a 2nd edition copy of any of these books, and could send me a photo, I would be very appreciative. For now, they are excluded from the main list.

I’ve found a book today that’s not on this list yet, so i thought i might contribute some info.
L145 The war with Hannibal – Livy from 1965
These are the links to the cover and spine
I hope it was of some help :)

Thanks for your help! I’ve updated the checklist.
I can fill in the remaining gaps in your list.
L144: Medieval Verse (1964)
L160: Balzac: Cousin Bette (1965)
L200: Froissart: Chronicles (1968)
L215: The Alexiad of Anna Comnena (1969)
I have constructed a list up to 402 Rig Veda, 403-4 Hugo: Les Miserables though towards the end there are gaps (344, 345, 347, 351, 354, 356, 357, 365, 366, 373, 377-382, 391, 400) which I suspect were never issued.
Dear Richard
I would very much like to see your list up to L404
Would you be prepared to share it?
Dear David,
I have just rediscovered this website which I posted to 6 years ago (though I have no memory of it). Apologies for the delay in getting back!!
I have a list of Penguin Classics (Series 2) which now goes up to up to L453 with gaps. I have created a csv file of this which I can post if that is possible here. I also have a Flickr album of images of the covers that I own (313 titles) at https://www.flickr.com/photos/74943088@N04/albums/72157635990833964
Can I attach a csv file (essentially a comma separated text file) here? Otherwise I will try cut and paste though it may be too big.
Richard
Here is my list. An x in the last column means I own a copy so the cover is on my Flickr page.
