ABOUT OUR NEW FICTION & NON-FICTION SUBSCRIPTION:

For the reader equally interested in hard facts and flights of fancy, our Best of New subscription in fiction and non-fiction is a must, designed to keep you up to date with worlds both literary and logical.

Discover the most exciting new releases in paperback, chosen by our fantastic booksellers, to spark your imagination and open your mind in equal measure. Whether you are an intrepid bookworm or getting back into reading, this subscription is the perfect gift. Over the next year, we will send your lucky recipient (or indeed you – we encourage self-gifting!) twelve brilliant paperback books - six new non-fiction titles and six new fiction titles - all wrapped in our signature livery of brown paper and blue ribbon.

Sent from our Mayfair bookshop, the books will arrive in six gift-wrapped parcels of two books (one fiction and one non-fiction) every other month, each including a different monthly bookmark designed by the wonderful Cressida Bell.  

Your lucky recipient will receive a welcome pack from us to introduce them to their subscription. Including an elegant gift card and letter telling them about the subscription, we can also include a hand-written personal message on one of our illustrated postcards. Do pop a message for your recipient in the notes at checkout to include this in the welcome pack.  

• Please note that postage is not included in the cost of the subscription and it will be added at checkout. We send all of our subscription books in pairs to minimise postage costs for our customers.
• If your recipient lives in Canada or Switzerland please get in touch with our team at enquiries@heywoodhill.com for a specific postage cost.
• For any questions, do check out our FAQs on the subscriptions page or get in touch with us at enquiries@heywoodhill.com.
