Quirk Books
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quirk Books is an independent book publisher based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The company was founded by David Borgenicht, co-author of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, which has spawned sequels, as well as a TBS television series and a board game. Quirk develops and publishes nontraditional and innovative crossover books that are objects of desire editorially, graphically, and physically.
[edit] Crossover books
Quirk specializes in "crossover books" that can be sold outside of book stores. In an interview with The Globe and Mail, David Borgenicht said, "We look for a concept that has a clear core market and, if published and packaged correctly with real, useful, and/or cogent information, has the ability to cross over into non-book stores.".
