Is Usborne Books & More a pyramid scheme?
No, it’s not a pyramid scheme. Usborne Books is a well established direct sales company that has an over 30 year history in the US.

Do you offer any discounts for large orders?
Yes, please contact us for special bulk order pricing and we'll also be more than happy to provide you custom book recommendations.
Why should I buy Usborne Books and Kane Miller Books direct instead of from an online seller like Amazon or Thriftbooks?
- You get brand new books without flaws.
- Your books are well packed, arriving in good shape. They don't ship in cheap plastic bag mailers, or sit loose in a box lacking protection to get thrown around and bent up during transit to your doorstep. There is nothing worse than receiving a "deal" on a book you were wanting only to have it ship to your house looking worse than a used copy.
- There are no messy barcode stickers to have to peel off your book, or sticky residue that you will have to scrape off.
- You get an experienced consultant providing you personal recommendations for your child, given their age and interests.
- You can contact us to receive discounts when placing large bulk orders or learn how to save big on Usborne.
- You get Fast direct shipping within the United States of America.
- All items in your order ship from the same location usually at the same time and arrive together so you're not waiting for part of your order.
- All books bought directly through us come with a lifetime 50% discount if you need to replace the book at anytime for damage.
- We provide great customer service. Contact us with questions or if you need help finding a book. We're happy to help!
- Usborne books are not allowed to be sold on Amazon. So if you're seeing them there, they are either being sold "new" by a dishonest consultant (which can you really trust them?) or a random reseller who got a hold of a book somehow... in which case, it might ship form another country rather than from within the United States. If they are being sold in "used" condition by someone who previously purchased them, you are likely rolling the dice as to the quality of book you're going to receive for you money.
- There is a reason Usborne Books & More has been around since 1989. We stand behind the quality of our books.
- You support independent consultants running their own business.
- You can join my Usborne VIP Group to get exclusive discounts and find out about the latest product drops.
Why can I only find a few Usborne Books on Amazon?
In 2009, Usborne Books & More publicly broke ties with Amazon and stopped distributing our books through Amazon and other wholesalers. You can read more below about the public breakup. This is why if you do see our books on Amazon, it’s likely a 3rd party seller selling a limited selection of books for more than the MSRP, a used book, or a UK published version of a book. You can read more about it with the links below.
