Penguin Collectors Society

Most collectors are interested in the early years. Very few Penguin paperbacks printed after 1950 have any monetary value – that is more than a new paperback would cost today. Battered reprints, while they may still make an excellent read, have very little real resale potential.

Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as quality translations by award-winning translators.

Penguins are popular around the world for their unusually upright, waddling gait, their cuteness, their swimming ability and (compared with other birds) their lack of fear toward humans.

Many graded readers contain classic stories, such as Pride and Prejudice, which have been edited, shortened and updated with modern language. You could read Hamlet and actually understand it! Other graded readers contain original stories, written especially for people learning English.

Level 3 readers are perfect for the transitional reader who can read multisyllable and compound words, can read prefixes and suffixes, can identify story elements, and understands different points of view.

Like academic presses, they employ people to review and edit books before they are published. But their books are not peer reviewed and generally are not considered scholarly. Examples: Penguin, Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, etc.

A graded reader is a story which has been adapted for people learning to read or learning a foreign language. Graded readers avoid using difficult grammar and vocabulary.
