With over 1300 titles there is a book for everyone in every age group from 0 to 99. Though primarily a children's line of books, Usborne books are also used in college courses and enjoyed by adults everywhere who still love to learn. Our computer guides are fantastic!

Visually stunning covers guarantee that these books will not sit on the shelf! Every page is a feast for the eyes with lavish, full-color illustrations.

Features borrowed from comic books are sure attention-grabbers: speech bubbles, hand lettering, frame by frame sequence.

Although the books use humor and color to enhance enjoyment of every subject, they are packed with excellent information.

Kid Kits combine popular books with the "stuff" needed to use the book: Science with Magnets Kit, Book of Magic Kit, Juggling Kit, Calligraphy Kit, Find the Duck Kit, plus many more! They make great gifts!

Usborne Books started with non-fiction books, but now we carry readers, fiction, puzzle stories, jigsaw puzzles, finger puppets, maze books, workbooks, learning wrap-ups and "cut and glue" models to complement the study of history. (Make a Medieval Castle, Make This Model Egyptian Mummy, etc...)

IBM recently selected 40 Usborne science books to supplement its educational software.

The Smithsonian Institute highly recommends Usborne books.

• Acid-free Paper
• Laminated Covers
• Stitched Bindings

Though Usborne Books are expensive to make, they are not expensive to buy because Peter Usborne spreads his cost over the international market. The customer is given the choice of a paperback binding or to upgrade to a library binding, depending on their budget and usage.

The majority of our over 1300 titles are between $3.95 and $9.95 (80% under $10). When books in a series are bound together, the resulting Bind-Up will be a more expensive book, but a savings over buying the books individually. (Ex: The First Book of Knowledge is a bindup of 10 books, that if bought individually would be over $45. The hardcover bindup, however, is only $16.95 which is a savings of over $28!)

• Step-by-step explanations of the "How’s and Why’s".
   
• Cutaway illustrations so children can get the inside view.
   
• Double page layouts which open so that the book is easily propped up, enticing the child to delve into the pictures.
    
• Pages filled with activity - a lot of material to explore on each topic.
    
• Straightforward text consistently positioned below each picture simplifying the reading exercise-the use of short sentences encourages the child to read.
