[edit] External links removed
I have removed all the links to:
- websites people have created to earn money
- international versions of the websites.
My rationale is that the UK site (the parent site) contains links to international branches, and Wikipedia is not a repository for links to all the Usborne sites globally. I have relinked the Usborne Books at Home link to the official UK UBaH site rather than affiliate/agency sites. In the future, please do not create such links.

Hi Burns flipper,
some good points well made on the netrality of this site and I agree with your removal of the international site links.
The difficulty with the first point, the links to people's private Usborne sites, is that the 'organisers' of Books at Home, the Mum's who organise book parties etc. number in the hundreds, perhaps thouands, and are largely hard to police. Some make their own websites, others have blogs and such. Unfortuantly some also think that it's alright to post their own sites on the wikipedia page but since you have brought it to my attention (I didn't mention, I work for Usborne) we'll talk with the people at Books at Home and see if they can't talk to the organisers and warn them off doing this in future.
Cheers.
