Penguin Books celebrates its 75th birthday
Publisher holds its birthday in Bristol, the home of its founder, Allen Lane
Everyone had a favourite Penguin tale: the time a collection of Jacobean plays fell apart because an electric fire melted the glue binding it together; the pride felt when a collection of essays was bought with a school book voucher prize; the comfort of Dad's old, crumpled edition of the Vegetable Grower's Handbook.
