The Bloomsbury 21

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomsbury_21

Bloomsbury 21 is a series of 21 novels published in 2007 by Bloomsbury to celebrate their 21st anniversary. The books are limited editions of 21 of Bloomsbury’s most famous published works. The novels have covers featuring a white background with a picture of the original cover of the particular novel, tilted in such a way that part of the picture is cut off and appears on the next book in the series. When the books are placed side by side in numerical order, their covers form a panorama of the 21 original book covers. Each book features an introduction by a fellow author and reading group guides. On the spine of each book is its number in the series above the number 21 to indicate the book’s place within the series. Authors whose works have been included in the series include Margaret Atwood and J.K. Rowling
