Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Kissing your hand may make you feel very very good, but a diamond and safire bracelet lasts forever.” Anita Loos first published the diaries of the gold-digging blonde Lorelei Lee in the flapper days of 1925, forging a new archetype for the modern world. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes follows Lorelei and her best friend, Dorothy, from Hollywood to Manhattan to Paris and London, pursued by eager suitors all the while. In “the Central of Europe,” with a new diamond tiara in her handbag, Lorelei meets a traveling American millionaire who just might be the one. She retires her diary, but not for long, because, as she writes in the opening pages of But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, “it is bright ideas that keep the home fires burning, and prevent a divorce from taking all of the bloom off Romance.” For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Book excerpt: A Prince of Swindlers is the story of one intelligent, fearless, and clever scoundrel who keeps an entire city in terror. He is an ingenious thief and a master of disguise who has conned all of London. The thief executes a series of plans that involve him stealing a diamond necklace, arranging the theft of a horse, stealing some wedding gifts, misleading the profits of a charity campaign, and swimming off with a visiting royal's most refined gold plate. He uses several schemes to fool the English upper class and comes away with millions. It's a story of how an unexpected encounter between a conman and a British diplomat led to a series of adventures. It's interesting and fun to read how he plans out his complex plans and always manages to execute them. The gentleman thief is a fascinating character who often recaps his plans to the reader in dialogue. This gave him a humorous villain quality that adds to the story's charm. Much of the humor depicts his personality wonderfully. It's a mind-blowing story that will meet any reader's need for thrills.
