Puffin Thinkbook


How many of you have one of these? This is the full spread artwork of the Puffin Thinkbook – designed, as always, by Jill McDonald. These blank paperback books were given away as prizes for competitions, and more importantly, on sale to members at some of the Puffin Exhibitions. That’s where I bought my copies.

I must have had a premonition that I would need a pristine copy to use nearly a quarter of a century later, because I kept one copy back from scribbles.

The spine of the book is the fountain pen which wraps around nicely. I’ve been toying with the idea of laser printing the design onto Duralabels and sticking it onto my Moleskine notebook – I think it would look pretty smart!
