Collecting early Penguins is generally straightforward, but Number 6 is tricky.

The first reprint had the number 6. Finally in 1936, The Mysterious Affair At Styles was reissued with four other crime books with the new number 61.Styles number 6....

I think that these old Penguin covers in
basic colours look much better than the new
ones.

I don’t know if I could have done that.
I have difficulty throwing books away even
when they’re falling apart. To destory
them deliberately just seems wrong.

Happily, for me, I was working part time and
it was done when I wasn't there. Usually what
happened, especially for books damaged in
transit, was that the publisher required us
to tear out the title page and return that.
Afterwards the books were pretty well OK and
they were 'recycled' by the staff - but of
course they could not be sold in any way.
