The "Books Are Beautiful" Series (17 books)

Listopia > The "Books Are Beautiful" Series

In October 2012, Random House of Canada, through its three paperback imprints -- Vintage, Anchor, and Emblem -- re-released 30 books in what is now called the Books Are Beautiful series. In an attempt to encourage readers to discover some standout novels in the Random House back catalogue, Random House printed brand new editions of these novels with an interesting re-design: each book has been given a signature pantone color, so that, together, the 30 books make up something of a reading rainbow.
