Peregrines

undefinedPenguin moved from inexpensive paperbacks to inexpensive textbooks with this edition, which takes the usual Pelican nonfiction catalog to the academic level. These books are B-format, larger than the mass market size of most Penguins, and sometimes in box sets.

That’s it. Seriously. The only reason to add more text here is to keep the image from messing up the table below in terms of the HTML. No one cares much about this series, which undoubtedly helped some folks get their M.A.s but have generally been forgotten. A few gaps in this list, which ends just before the ISBN era.
