Usborne Publishing, often called Usborne Books, is a British publisher of children's books. Founded by Peter Usborne in 1973,[1] Usborne Publishing uses an in-house team of writers, editors, and designers. One of its sales channels is Usborne Books at Home, a multi-level marketing operation founded in 1981.[2][3] In the United States, Usborne books are sold and distributed to the retail trade through HarperCollins.[4] Direct customer sales are made through PaperPie, the home business division of Educational Development Corporation.[5]
Quicklinks
Quicklinks were first introduced in 2000 as a way to incorporate the internet into modern reading habits. Peter Usborne has been quoted in the trade magazine The Bookseller as saying: "I initially thought that the internet would kill non-fiction, because teachers would tell children to use the internet to help with homework. But if you key in 'castles' [on a search engine], you get 900,000 possible websites. The internet is an inadequate resource for children."[6]
