I can't believe I just found this thread. I LOVE Usborne Books. Of course, I am an Educational Supervisor. Usborne Books are worth the price. I am well on my way to owning all of their books.
Why you should buy Usborne Books from an Usborne Book Fair or consultant and NOT from Barnes & Noble or through Scholastic.
1.We offer the full selction of books. B&N and Scholastic have limited Usborne Books.
2.Our quality is better. B&N have the same books, but our books through Scholastic are cheaper quality. It's like they took our book and put it on a copying machine. The paper is thinner, the binding isn't as good and they just don't hold up as good as the others.
3.You get a Warantee. When you buy from a book fair or consultant, you get a half price replacement for the life of the book. If your books becomes damaged at all or falls apart from being loved, then you can pay half price for a NEW Book. I know with buying from Consultants you also have a 30 day exchange policy.(I am not sure if they offer it through book fairs, you would have to ask) But if you buy a title and you get it home and read it and your not crazy about it, you have 30 days to exchange it for a new title.
4. No Commercialization. None of Usborne Books are linked to a tv show or movie. We have our own unique characters and stories. 40% of Scholastic books are linked to Nick Jr or Disney Cartoons, promoting tv shows.
Those ar just a few of our benefits. They really are great books. Like Stacia mentioned, the Encyclopedias are awesome and most of them are Internet-Linked. So there are alot of activites on the internet that go along with the book.
If anyone else has any ?'s. I would be happy to answer.
*There is a book titled ABC and Alphabet Book. Both are very cute. Another series for 3 yr old would be the picture books. Very cute and not fluffy stories. All of them are educational stories.
