A niche series that fulfilled its role, the Penguin Scores series was well-regarded for its design and for the quality of publishing. It also got scuttled fairly quickly once it stopped making money. Composer Gordon Jacob edited and wrote introductions for the series, and designer Jan Rschichold is responsible for that lovely Garamond font, as well as the wallpaper designs that would see re-use in later Poets texts.
