Anders Røyneberg’s book GREEN JOY is set to travel out into the world. The estemeed publishing house Quadrille has bought World English rights and will publish it in the UK. In Australia it will be published by Hardie Grant.
Sarah Lavelle, publishing director in Quadrille, has this to say about GREEN JOY:
“I love Anders’ book and his aesthetic – his nurturing and stylish approach to growing indoor plants could not be more timely. Who wouldn’t feel better and happier surrounded by beautiful greenery? I am very happy to be publishing his book in the English language, and look forward to sharing his advice and lovely images with audiences in the UK, US and elsewhere in 2021.”
We are thrilled as well, congratulations Anders!
