In a continued tribute to its founder’s publishing roots, Hatchards presents The Hatchards Library, which publishes a few titles each year, all limited, numbered and reissued with a bespoke dust jacket. In 2025, this includes Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, Elizabeth Bowen’s The Heat of the Day, Tom Sharpe’s Riotous Assembly and a new title from the Hatchards exclusive Paddington Bear collection.
This summer has seen the exciting launch of the Hatchards Children’s Library, a curated collection of beloved children’s books. The inaugural title, Judith Kerr’s When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, remains a timeless classic for both young readers and adults alike. Hatchards’ legacy extends beyond Piccadilly. In 2014, a second shop was opened at St Pancras International, perfectly situated next to Fortnum & Mason, further deepening a partnership dating back over two centuries.
Then, in 2022, Hatchards opened its third location in the literary heartland of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, home to the world’s longest-running literature festival. Eight generations of booksellers and readers have passed through the doors of 187 Piccadilly, but the essence of Hatchards remains unchanged: a commitment to excellence in bookselling and a love of literature that spans centuries.
