An attraction of unprecedented generosity from the store Haywood Hill

LONDON. Heywood Hill Bookstore chooses the lucky one to provide him with new books for the rest of his life.

Among the main attractions of the respectable London quarter, Mayfair, along with Piccadilly Circus, Bond Street or the Royal Academy of Arts, an advanced bibliophile will certainly name a small bookstore Heywood Hill. In August, he celebrated his 80th birthday, having gained many friends and thousands of regular customers in dozens of countries over the years. Among them - Elizabeth II. A visit to Curzon Street 10 (Curzon Street), where book readers are greeted by a cozy, almost club atmosphere, is able to "turn over" the gadgetophile into an adherent of paper media.

It offers visitors - not only the currently available new and antique publications. For many decades, Heywood Hill has assisted in the selection of books for private libraries: from several volumes to huge collections. In search of rare folios, store employees monitor all available sources: second-hand collapses and the world’s most famous book treasures, guaranteeing the client the most complete selection of publications in the one they are interested in his area.

Heywood has prepared a generous gift for readers. Applicants for it need to fill out a special form on the store’s website before October 31, indicating in it the most beloved book written in English or translated into it. It should be published no earlier than 1936. Some well-known writers were invited to indicate their preferences. Among the works significant for them were the works of Nabokov and Dostoevsky. A lucky randomly selected draw will receive books from Heywood Hill throughout his life, no matter where in the world he is. Monthly, for free, taking into account the expressed preferences. Winners of the second and third prizes will be able to use the generosity of the hero of the anniversary for one year. And those who are not among the lucky ones will simply find a new friend in the person of one of the best bookstores in Europe.

Participation in such an action Karin Scherer, Haywood senior seller, compares The Guardian in an interview with a lifelong intellectual adventure.
