I've gone and done it. I agreed to become a distributor for Usborne books. There's a decent back story to my love of these books.... ok, not really all that interesting, but here goes:
I lived in London for two years with my husband and our two young children. I frequently visited the bookstore, Waterstones, on St. John's Rd nearly weekly. I fell in love with Usborne books - the sticker books, early readers, the travel sized activity books. Seriously, right up my alley.
I've been back in the States for a little over a year now and I was always looking for something similar here without luck. Then, I was contacted by my friend Lacie Glenn who also lived in the UK for a while about hosting an online Usborne book party on FaceBook. Hosting a what? I said...
That's when I learned the secret. Usborne books are available here in the US if you know a distributor! Woot woot.
I also learned they have amazing books for the older crowd which is great as my two are getting into science and grammar etc etc.
So - I bit the bullet and I've signed up. I don't know yet if I'll be hosting all sorts of online things or just doing a table here and there at book fairs/science fairs -- but if you want a great book for your little one, or baby shower gift, or something that isn't a toy for your niece/nephew - give me a call.
