A Year In Books
We are all finding ways to get through the pandemic. Many are rediscovering the pleasures of reading. Our legendary subscription service is fully operational and remains the perfect gift for readers of all ages, nationalities and sensibilities. We find out someone's reading preferences and then each month our talented booksellers choose a book to suit that individual subscriber's taste.
An Autumnal Miscellany
Rare Books have recently acquired a rather good private library of English literature which we have used as the basis of an Autumn Miscellany. If you would like to see the catalogue email rare@heywoodhill.com Highlights include the beautiful Sussex edition of Kipling’s Works, a Kelmscott Press title, signed books by E.M.Forster, C.S. Forester, Somerset Maugham and Anthony Powell, and a John Betjeman manuscript.
