The store was designed by the interior design firm figure3. The design incorporates the familiar Penguin design elements in a visually delightful way. Its bright colours and bold lines are perfect for a quick selfie with your new book!<\/p>\n

And, of course, you can get more at the Shop than just branded merchandise. You can also find carefully selected titles on their sliding bookshelves. Check out their \u201cPenguin Picks\u201d for recommendations from authors, editors, and designers from the company.<\/p>\n
