[edit] Murderous Maths and Foul Football

Two books in The Knowledge series are Murderous Maths and More Murderous Maths however Kjartan Poskitt incorporated these two books and many others into their own Murderous Maths series. Due to this, these two books don't have The Knowledge logo at the top and are now officially part of the Murderous Maths series. The same sort of incident has occurred with one The Knowledge book known as Foul Football, which has started a whole series of its own as well, called Foul Football.
