Quirk Books and Random House have signed a deal in which the latter will distribute its books, starting on 1 January 2011. The Philadelphia-based independt press is currently distributed by Chronicle Books. Quirk has experienced some massive growth of late, due in large part to its lead role in the zombie-mash-up trend that began with Quirk’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies early last year.
According to representative of Quirk, the move is due, in part “to the expanded suite of digital distribution options Random House offers.”
