I've often thought of buying the box of buying Postcards from Penguin of the one hundred book covers, but I've yet to do so. I might still just end up with a selection of them via Postcrossing, however. I think the box of covers that I have seen have the orange design, but this one is blue, so perhaps it isn't the same thing? Pelicans vs. Pnguins--I'm sure there is a difference, though I am not sure what it is. In any case, I like it. It's also a perfect choice for me. Besides the postcard being generally bookish, I also admire Virginia Woolf. I have this book, The Common Reader, by the way and have read a few of the essays in it.
The postcard came from Australia. I love the stamp and it's one of the first I've gotten with a winter motif. Since winter is not far off in Australia, it's not surprising to see it. It's been very warm where I live, so cold, snowboarding thoughts aren't at all unpleasant at the moment!
