Years ago, in a bookstore, I saw a poster which was a reproduction of either an Erasmus or Thomas More painting with the 70's logo of 'Penguin Classics' written below it. Does anyone know where I can find posters of Penguin Classics cover art on-line?

I looked and couldn't find any Penguin merchandise for sale at all, which is odd, as there certainly used to be t-shirts, mugs etc, usually with some horizontal grid design, not so long ago, but I can't find anything now. I think there's a missed opportunity here, with modern production techniques they could offer quite a large range printed on demand.

I will, however, put a 70s Penguin Classic with a painting up as Cover of the Week on Thursday, although I don't have Erasmus or Thomas More ones.

I can only suggest you keep an eye on e-bay. I haven't seen anything when I looked for you but you never know when someone might put one up for sale. You might also want to try the Penguin Collectors' Society. If I come across anything, I will let you know.
