Chronicle Books will distribute Paperblanks in the U.S. and Canada, effective July 1. Chronicle Books and its Canadian distributor Raincoast Books will sell approximately 50 new Paperblanks titles per season and a backlist of 1,200 titles.
Founded in Vancouver, B.C., in 1991 and now headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Paperblanks publishes high-quality journals and creative tools, with image art inspired by classic book binding design, literature, science, music, mysticism, and creativity. In addition to its own product lines, Paperblanks has global co-branding partnerships with the Getty Museum and New York Public Library, as well as licensing relationships with cultural institutions around the world, including the British Library, the V&A, the Van Gogh Museum, and more.
Chronicle Books president Tyrrell Mahoney said, "We are deeply honored to be expanding our roster of gift publishing to include Paperblanks, a market leader in the industry. It is an exciting opportunity for us at Chronicle to build upon the beloved brand's longstanding success and cultivate new channels of distribution throughout the United States and Canada."
