Usborne to drop 'boys' and 'girls' titles!

Well, that was quick! We're thrilled that Usborne publishers have told Guardian Books today that they have "no plans to produce any titles labelled 'for girls' or 'for boys' in the future" and that they take "feedback on gender-specific titles very seriously". http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/mar/07/parents-gender-boys-girls-books-let-books-be-books This is a real change from the responses supporters have had from Usborne in the past. But there's still plenty to play for - read Michael O'Mara (publisher of the Buster Books imprint) explain why they don't plan on dropping gendered titles.
