The thumbnails below are ordered alphabetically by title and show how Penguin sf covers have changed over the years as the books were reprinted. Covers that were proposed but not then used are also included. However, Penguin did not reprint every sf title so the covers shown here are only a subset of those on display in the MAIN GALLERY >>

Most of the covers are displayed elsewhere on this website as larger images, which can be viewed by placing the cursor over a thumbnail and clicking on it if the cursor indicates it is 'clickable'. Alternatively click on a year below a thumbnail to view all the covers for that year in the main gallery.
