Diamond Comic Distributors has signed an agreement with United Kingdom publisher Pedigree Books to distribute its publications in bookstores and comic stores throughout North America.  This arrangement marks the first time Pedigree Books has been available in the United States.
 
Pedigree Books publishes annuals, yearbooks, and other products tied to licensed properties from video games, TV, movies, music, toys, and other forms of pop culture.  Some of Pedigree's most popular all-ages properties include Barbie, Star Wars, Angry Birds, Family Guy, and Pokemon. 
 
Retailers will be able to find Pedigree's titles in Previews and Diamond's sales kits for book distribution beginning in August.
