The Usborne Internet-Linked Book of Knowledge is an incredible reference book. There is information on all types of things in this beautiful book. Not only that, but it is internet-linked.
What, you may be asking, does internet-linked mean? Usborne has added descriptions of websites throughout these books that will further enhance your study of the subject. Since we all know that the internet is an ever-changing, sometimes dangerous place, Usborne has a website that is just for these links from their books. You visit www.usborne-quicklinks.com and there you will find the links mentioned in the books. The advantage of going through Usborne to get to these links is that Usborne regularly reviews the sites for content and updates the information for you in usborne Quicklinks.
Does all this mean you have to have a computer to get the most out of these books? Definitely not. The books stand on their own and will be just as wonderful used without the computer.
