Anova Books has signed two deals for books marking the Queen's diamond jubilee next year, acquiring a title celebrating the monarch's style as well as a collection of jubilee-themed postcards.
Editor Emily Preece-Morrison signed a deal directly with the author for world English-language rights to Jane Eastoe's Elizabeth: Reigning in Style. She said: "In the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year, there will be many books published looking at all aspects of Her Majesty's life. With this detailed look at the royal wardrobe we hope to find a point of difference. Elizabeth II was a style icon as a princess and young monarch and is once again being seen in those terms." It will be released as a £9.99 hardback in April 2012.
Meanwhile, Anova c.e.o. Polly Powell bought world English language rights from Verlhac Editions in Paris to the book of photographs by Martin Parr, and plans to publish the title under the Pavilion imprint in April 2012.
Fiona Holman, Pavilion editorial director, said: "If you want an original jubilee gift, this set of colourful postcards hits the spot." As-yet untitled, it will include 10 postcards, inspired by the jubilee theme and the British tradition of street parties, and will also be published in April 2012, priced £9.99.
