FOLLOW THE CAR

This northern summer the Penguin Car (a Penguin-orange Mini-Cooper with the Penguin logo) will be touring the United States to celebrate Penguin's 75th anniversary, increase awareness of The Nature Conservancy, and promote literacy. It will be appearing at bookstores across the country and bringing some of Penguin's well-known authors to anniversary parties at bookstores in their hometowns.

At each anniversary event, a set of 75 of the most iconic titles from Penguin Books will be donated to a local library or literacy group. Each author will sign the Penguin Car as it makes its way across the United States. When the celebration is complete Penguin will auction the car with the proceeds going to a literary nonprofit organization.
Check out the schedule to see when an author and the Penguin Car will be near your town.
