Penguins new ad campaign celebrates well-read books

This new ad campaign from Penguin appeals to those of us who think beat-up, torn, taped, scribbled-upon books are more appealing than pristine ones. I wondered if the books photographed here were found as is, or lovingly distressed by the art director, then I saw the small print in the lower right of each ad, which suggests they were found that way.

the twilight renaissance is a place to enjoy the series while calling out everything that was problematic and offensive with it. it’s not a place to enjoy the series while disregarding all of the racism, sexism, etc. and to instead justify what smeyer did. i always assume we’re all on the same page & find myself disappointed to see that some of us are not. 

here’s a reminder for anyone who needs it: that small embarrassing thing you did earlier? no one remembers it. they have their own day to day lives they’re focusing on, they aren’t focusing on whatever it was that happened. you’re human, you’re awkward sometimes, and that’s okay. people aren’t judging you as harshly as you worry they are
