Hachette Fascicules & Collection

Hachette Collections was created in France in 1995. It publishes partworks (fascicules in French), often packaged with collectibles, which it deploys on an international scale. Partworks appeal to hobbyists and enthusiasts with titles like Golden Books Disney, Bismarck, Warhammer, Crochet and the like, to the delight of millions of collectors. In addition to the genre’s traditional topics (cars, the fine arts, aeronautics, etc.), Hachette Collections increasingly markets products under licence, such as Marvel and Disney products. Hachette Collections now has a presence in 38 countries: in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada via Hachette Collections France; in Spain, Portugal and Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) via Salvat since 1998; in Germany and Austria since 1999; in Italy, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungaria, Bulgaria, and Romania, via Hachette: Fascicoli since 1999; in the UK, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Malta via Hachette Partworks since 1998; in Poland via Hachette Polska since 2001; in Japan via Hachette Collections Japan since 2004.
