Beginning with the fall 2015 season, Chronicle Books will distribute Quadrille Publishing in North America. With its Canadian distributor, Raincoast Books, Chronicle will sell approximately 20 titles a season. Quadrille plans to hire a marketing and publicity executive, who will be located in the U.S.
Founded in 1994 with headquarters in the U.K., Quadrille Publishing publishes illustrated books and stationery. Its authors include Cath Kidston, Michel Roux and Antonio Carluccio as well as major brands like Liberty and Anorak.
Quadrille Publishing was recently acquired by the Hardie Grant Publishing Group, Melbourne, Australia, which is a long-time partner of Chronicle Books. Quadrille and Chronicle have co-published several books in the U.S. over the past few years.
