Please do Alice in Wonderland next.

Much to my delight, Penguin has released three more "Penguin Threads" editions. The new titles, which feature a variety of styles of embroidery-inspired cover art, are Little Women, The Wizard of Oz, and The Wind in the Willows, and they're all so gorgeous I'm even tempted to buy Little Women (and you guys know how I feel about that book). I'm particularly impressed by the artwork for The Wizard of Oz, which strikes me as a perfect advertisement for that book's sheer weirdness.

If you haven't seen these editions in real life, they're well worth seeking out. The texture and sheen on the covers are handled perfectly; you have to touch the books to verify that it's just a print, not actual threadwork.
