Our Mission Statement & Contact Information
What is Usborne Books & More? Usborne Books & More is a division of Educational Development Corporation (EDC), a well-established company that has been in existence for over 25 years. We are the co-Publisher of Usborne books and the Publisher of Kane Miller books in the United States. Today, Usborne Books & More distributes books through thousands of independent consultants who work directly with consumers via home shows, direct sales, book fairs, and web sites. Educational Services Representatives, a smaller number of consultants, are certified to work with schools and libraries.
USBORNE
Usborne Publishing was founded in 1973 by Peter Usborne. Usborne strives to present all subjects, even difficult and complex subjects, in an appealing way without losing detail or accuracy. Usborne books are appealing to children because they contain humor whenever possible, a variety of illustration styles, a high ratio of pictures to text, short magazine-like paperback formats, tremendous detail, and clear, simple and nonpatronizing text.

BOOK FAIRS Book fairs give you the ability to earn FREE books while your students stock up on great books to read at home. You can receive free books only, or we also offer a cash and books option. The book fair minimum is $250, and you earn 50% in free books. There is no free book limit with this program. To keep things easy for you, I set up the fair, provide all checkout materials, manage funds, take down the fair, and deliver the free books to you. It can be as hands-on or hands-free as you choose!
Book fairs are scalable and can be done with any size preschool, elementary or middle school. We can also tailor book selections to meet your needs (low income, subject matter, etc.).
