I looked at the Usborne books at a display at the home educator's fair. I was 
very, very impressed with most of them. The only one I didn't care for was 
their piano primer book. It would be fine for a young learner, but thinking 
of an 8 or 9 year old, it didn't go far enough in the space of the pages 
provided! (At least, not the 8 and 9 year old beginning piano students that I 
had.) The rest of them, tho, were very good.
I noticed that Scholastic Arrow books had some of the Usborne books this past 
month, but I don't know if they were heavily enough discounted (since I 
didn't happen to look at the price of Usborne books at the fair). We had a 
hefty enough order without them, tho.
