From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers--featuring cover art by Jessica Hische

It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet. In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's recent film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. With exclusive designs that have never before appeared on Hische's hugely popular Daily Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series launches with six perennial favorites to give as elegant gifts, or to showcase on your own shelves.

V is for Voltaire. Voltaire's masterpiece belongs in the hands of every reader pondering our assumptions about human behavior and our place in the world. Voltaire tells of the ludicrous adventures and reversals of fortune of the na ve Candide, who doggedly believes that "all is for the best" even when faced with injustice, suffering, and despair. A satirical challenge to the empty optimism prevalent in Voltaire's eighteenth-century society is both controversial and entertaining, but also vitally relevant today in our world pervaded by--as Candide would say--"the mania for insisting that all is well when all is by no means well."

Movement freedom and quick changes: The ideal diaper for active babies
Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 56, Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 56
360° Flexible Fit: The standout feature is the 360° stretchy waistband that adapts perfectly to the baby's body, preventing gaps and allowing full, unrestricted movement. • Easy On and Off: Being a "Pull-On" style, it slides up in a second. For removal, it features the practical "e-z off" tabs on the sides that tear easily for a hygienic and fast change. • Designed for Active Babies: The packaging highlights an All-Around Fit specifically engineered for dynamic little ones who need protection that keeps up with them. If your baby has started moving and diaper changes have become a 'wrestling match' with traditional tabs, Pampers Cruisers 360° are the ultimate solution. They offer the peace of mind of Pampers protection with the convenience of pull-up underwear. A great investment for your child's exploration stage.

Great swaddlers alternative when the Velcro became an issue
Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 136
I bought these because my daughter (12 months) started undoing the Velcro on her diapers, even through her clothes. Finding her soaking wet enough times led me to look for a solution. I really like these and will enjoy them until she finds her way out of them. They’re just as absorbent as Swaddlers and the overnights, and she never gets a rash in them. Only downside is the blowout barrier on the legs is much smaller, so she does have some blowouts out the side. The Swaddlers has more material there to prevent blowouts. These are also cheaper than Swaddlers and overall great quality. Soft and absorbent and I don’t have to worry about her even through a 13 hour sleep at night. That thing will weigh 5lbs when I pull it off her but it doesn’t leak! These are going to be our go to diapers as long as she doesn’t learn to pull them off.

Great fit and very convenient for active babies
Size: Size 4, Unit Count: 64, Size: Size 4, Unit Count: 64
These diapers are a great option, especially for active babies. The 360 design makes them easy to pull on and off, which is really convenient during quick changes. They fit well without feeling too tight and provide good coverage. Absorbency is solid, keeping things dry for a good amount of time. The material feels soft and comfortable on the skin. I also like how easy they are to dispose of after use. Overall, a reliable and convenient choice for everyday use.

What a wonderful treat, loved by our very fussy dog!
Our very fussy Havanese absolutely LOVES these sticks! I had to find a new product after the USA-made chicken wrapped rawhide sticks were no longer available. It is very difficult to find a quality product made in the USA & while these are made in Cambodia, they seem to be made under very strict standards. I was also impressed that this co. claims it has never had a recall of their products. I also relied on the many, many excellent reviews of past customers. Our Teddy gets a stick every morning & then will wait by the pantry to get an additional 1 or 2 or more throughout the day! He usually does not eat the rawhide, just chews it up a bit. He is in love with these!! He also has a sensitive stomach & these have never bothered him one bit. His teeth are also quite clean from using these!
