On the Web
At latimes.com/books, we bring you Richard Rayner’s column, Paperback Writers. In this first installment, Rayner looks at Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions, a series featuring books like Ken Kesey’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” The idea is one to which book culture needs to pay attention: how to attract new readers. Rayner suggests the solution has a lot to do with both content and presentation.
