Partworks

Marshall Cavendish has been the market leader in the highly competitive arena of partwork publishing for more than 30 years. We pioneered the idea of collectable magazines in the UK and we now have over 150 successful collections to our credit.


Marshall Cavendish's editorial experience is second to none. We have published our products all over the world, and since founding the partworks publishing genre over 30 years ago, we have continued to set enviable sales and circulation records. Our worldwide reputation is founded on faultless, sparkling copy and cutting edge design.

Catering for both adult and children's markets, Marshall Cavendish publications range from fine arts to domestic skills, from science to sex, and from the natural to the supernatural world. Our innovative approach, stylish presentation and high quality content, combined with our research and production expertise, and the commitment of our staff, have contributed to our outstanding success.

We have published an incredible 268 million copies of Tree of Knowledge worldwide. Marshall Cavendish continues to innovate: Boxers was the first UK partwork with a video cover mount, a theme which has now developed. Most recently we published Reportages de Guerre in France, which is a magazine with cover-mounted DVD's featuring original WWII footage.

Global markets

As a global brand and innovator, we have adapted material in many different markets, and we continue to do so. In 2002, we were the first partwork publisher to enter the Russian market. We are now embarking on an exciting phase of growth, with new opportunities for our commercial partners and even more stimulating products planned for our readers.
