Penguin Anniversary-mobile coming to a bookstore near you. This summer the Penguin Anniversary-mobile (a Penguin-orange Mini-Cooper with the Penguin logo) will be touring the United States to celebrate Penguin's 75^th anniversary, increase awareness of The Nature Conservancy, and promote literacy. It will be appearing at bookstores across the country and bringing some of Penguin's well-known authors to anniversary parties at bookstores in their hometowns.

At each anniversary event, a set of 75 of the most iconic titles from Penguin Books will be donated to a local library or literacy group. Each author will sign the Penguin-mobile as it makes its way across the United States. When the celebration is complete Penguin will auction the car with the proceeds going to a literary nonprofit organization.
