Snor house description

Cleaning, working, raising children, looking in the mirror, dyeing your hair, shopping for groceries; life isn't easy for women of a 'certain age.' That was our exact reason for starting Publishing House Snor in the year 2006.

We named our Publishing House 'Snor' because in Dutch we have a proverb that says if something is 'Snor' (moustache) it must be alright. Besides that, a book lying open on a table has the silhouette of a moustache. And those are the kind of books we make, great books that lie open on a table.
