I'm completely boggled by the idea of buying a complete library of books in one go (Penguin editions or otherwise). Do you then sit down and crack the spines on all those paperbacks to make it look as though you've read them? Is it a design statement? (Look! All the covers have the same colour scheme!) It's like buying one of those sets of leather bound 'classics' (Just 19.95/month for the rest of your natural life!) -- only it's really, really not. Is it supposed to seem more real or less pretentious if you buy that truckload of books you'll never read in paperback instead of in hand-tooled leather?

I must be missing something.

Perhaps not.
