HEYWOOD HILL'S PERENNIAL
Explore the twentieth century in fiction with our new Perennial subscription. Over the course of the year our team of booksellers will choose twelve modern classics which reflect both the quality and variety of twentieth-century writing.
PAINTED CLASSICS
Exceptional literary works in beautifully crafted painted editions. Featuring gorgeous cover art by the artist Laci Fowler, gold sprayed edges, ribbon markers, decorative interior pages, and completed by an elegant paper band displaying the title.
REFUSE TO BE SCARED
Twelve inspirational books with titles chosen by world-renowned journalists. Created in association with Truth Tellers, our latest subscription 'Refuse To Be Scared' is designed to sustain independent thought through the old-fashioned power of well-chosen books.
The title of the subscription is drawn from a remark made by Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic:
“The only way to operate in this environment is to refuse to be scared.”
TAILORED SUBSCRIPTIONS
Our world-famous tailored book subscriptions all start with a reading consultation so that our attentive bookselling team can choose books especially for you. We endeavour to make the reading consultation a bookish experience which is fun, rewarding, stimulating and informative. Whether carried out in the shop, over the phone or filled out online, our aim is to learn as much as we can about customers' interests so our booksellers can hand-pick books over the year we think you will love.
