‘Reading age’ in this catalogue refers to the reading level of the text. ‘Interest age’ refers to the appeal of the content of the books and gives consideration to both unenthusiastic and able readers. We see books as an invaluable learning and development aid, especially in the first few years of life, so our books are not only entertaining and stimulating, but also highly engaging and interactive. Our books meet European Safety Standards (CE mark) and all our board books are sturdy and have rounded edges. The virgin paper fibre used in the production of our books, catalogues and office supplies is sourced from sustainable forests. Sustainable forests are ecologically managed to ensure a healthy balance between the demands for paper today and the forests’ natural ecosystem, and to ensure that the needs of our readers and their children and grandchildren can continue to be met in the future.

Fore-and-aft sails can be flown with a reduced crew and are efficient when working to windward. 2 A cannonball hole in a small sail affects only one sail. A hole in a large sail would eventually tear a larger area and reduce further the vessel’s flying power. 3 Four rotating Michaux cannon based on the Gribeauval system.
