Interesting in hosting an Usborne Books and More party? This is a GREAT time to schedule one: for the next few weeks, if you schedule a party with me, you will earn DOUBLE the merchandise allowance if your sales are $250 or more!! That means, instead of just $40 in FREE books for your family, you would earn $80 in free books! It only goes UP from there!! All you do is schedule a date, invite some friends, and let me do the work! It's a win-win for you: you get to introduce your friends to wonderful children's books while you get some for free! Good time to start thinking about Christmas presents...: )
