Little did I know how this book would impact my life in the years to come. In 2000, we launched Usborne’s first internet-linked book, the Usborne Science Encyclopedia, featuring links to over 1000 recommended websites. After several years working with the talented team in Oxfordshire, I made my way to Usborne’s head office in London to run the UK Marketing Department. Imagine my excitement when I spotted an advert for a marketing assistant at Usborne Books at Home a year later and landed the job. My first exposure to Usborne books was when my daughter was born - we were sent the Usborne Find the Duck board book to welcome her arrival and we were hooked! I’ve been working on the Usborne Quicklinks website for over 12 years and with Usborne Publishing for 20 years this spring. But first I thought I’d introduce myself.
There’s quite a lot to cover, so over the coming months I’ll introduce you to people who help keep us up and running, talk about our favourite websites and Usborne’s most popular internet-linked books. ‘Hello! I’ve been invited to write about what goes on behind the scenes of the Usborne Quicklinks website. At least that’s what we thought… Quicklinks guru Jacqui Clark tells us more:
But what you probably didn’t know is that Quicklinks is run - not from one of the Usborne offices - but from a secret bunker up in Scotland.

Those of you who are familiar with Usborne books may well already know about Usborne Quicklinks - a great resource which takes children to the best of the web, including recommended websites that enhance Usborne books, pronunciation guides for learning languages, and free pictures, puzzles and quizzes to download.
