IL - Internet Linked - You will see this on so many of our books. But what does that mean? What that means is that Usborne has its own site (Usborne Quicklinks), that then has lists of the Internet Linked books. Choose your book and page and it will give you lists of safe links for your kids to do more research on a topic that piqued their interest.
C/V - Combined Volume - You will see this on a lot of books too. This means that this book has several volumes bound together - Ted and Friends has 12 of the Phonics readers in it, though you can buy them separately. The Big Book of Things to Spot has five of the "1001 ** to Spot" books. The Usborne Encyclopedia of World History has 5 time periods in one volume. Why is this important? Because it is usually at a substantial savings over buying the books separately. Usborne may not even sell the books separately anymore, but the C/V notation means that you are still getting a bang for your buck.
H, L, FL, P, BD - Hardback, Library, Flex, Paperback, Board Book - The types of binding. Most are self-explanatory. Library has a sealed, cloth-type finish on the cover for durability. This is the most expensive type of binding. Flex cover is not a hardback, but sturdier than a paperback.
There are some other notations you'll find in there, but those are the most common.
I hope that helps you navigate through the catalog and website better!
