“One of the coolest gifts you can get for your favorite sci-fi geek . . . You’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but these new Penguin Galaxy hardcovers make it really hard.” —Gizmodo “Serious science fiction and fantasy readers cannot resist the classics. . . . That’s what makes the Penguin Galaxy series so appealing. . . . Each of the novels here has earned their place in the halls of literary history. . . . Their small form factor and minimalist covers call out to readers and make them fun to read all over again.” —Kirkus Reviews “I have laughed at [White’s] great Arthurian novel and cried over it and loved it all my life.” —Ursula K. Le Guin “I have read [this] book more times than any other in my library.” —Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians Trilogy “Intense and rich . . . Full of insights, scenes, and flourishes that are really quite astonishing.” —Jane Smiley, The Guardian
