Concern over age bands for books
BBC News, 18 August 2008
From this autumn, a number of publishing houses will 'age band' their children's books, and this is causing quite a furore at the Edinburgh Book Festival.
The scheme follows research by The Publishers Association, which suggested standardising age recommendations might help boost reading. Publishers are divided on the subject, and about nine major publishers have said that they will not take part in the scheme.
