Another fun series to collect is this faber and faber line. I prefer series like this that have common characteristics such as mostly the same colour
theme, titles, authors and logos generally in similar locations and similar design. This is in contrast with say the red spined Vintage Classics line.
This is very rigid, so if you have a book within the that doesn't follow this, it sticks out like a sore thumb. I'll say an example, those red spines
aren't all the exact same red. Now I admit I haven't researched too far into it but I haven't seen any kind of uniformity, for example rich bright red for
Vintage Hemingway, softer almost burgundy for Vintage Williams. Here are the faber and faber I have, only William Golding books currently.

So you can surmise most are within that mass paperback pulp realm, however I'll also pick up an Everyman's Library hardcover if I find it. I probably won't ever try to get all of these as I don't find them that attractive, but I don't mind having those lengthy tomes be in hardcover form so why not as an Everyman's Library. I have fond memories of an EL book I owned as a teenager, Things Fall Apart so I'll try and buy that again some day. Again this isn't a series I have researched much into so I don't know why some are white and black spined, and others black and red with gold theme.
