After 15 years, we are excited to announce that Hercules is ushering in a new era in its history. Our leading men’s fashion, lifestyle and design publication reforms itself into a book publisher of niche, limited edition titles under Hercules Books. As a departure from an often overcrowded, rapid magazine marketplace, we are slowing down to fine-tune our creative evolution. We are refining our true core—our deep love for publishing, printed matter and photography.

Hercules Books is a freeform expression as an independent publishing house: seasonless and timeless while unique in shape, form, and content. Each book will be unlike the other and released under its own unique schedule. We offer our contributors and readers more time and space for research, inspiration and creativity in this new open format. Each collectible title is accompanied by exclusive online content to a series of activations, exhibitions and events. Our books will be manufactured in sustainable, limited productions and made available through the Hercules website, as well as a select number of top bookstores.
