Usbourne really did make some terrific books. Some of them really defined my childhood, from their book about Ghosts that was in our primary school library and gave me nightmares, to the BASIC programming book that was foundational in me becoming a programmer. They still seem to be making some of the best non-fiction kids books, my kids have some great ones.
