Penguin Book Deckchair

Lazy summer afternoons were made for sitting under a favourite tree, sipping mint julips, and enjoying a few pages of a favourite book. And what could be more perfect than reading The Great Gatsby relaxing nestled in a great Penguin Book Deckchair? An utterly "novel" idea, and available in 3 colours, each with their own appropriately matched British title from the Penguin Classic archives ($111.06).

* Orange - The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield
* Green - The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler in Green
* Mauve - A Room of One’s Own by Virgina Woolf.

And to sip your coffee whilst literarily lounging, the Conran Shop has mugs with Penguin-title designs.

And if you spill your coffee, you can use the Penguin-titled tea towels from Objects of Desire to clean up!

Penguin may be a British company, and Chandler a British citizen, but The Big Sleep is quintessential Los Angeles. I want the green one!

Ooh, I am SO buying my mom those tea towels. She loves books and linen tea towels.
