Book Makeover

To follow suit with the other series in the Horrible franchise, The Knowledge has recently decided to republish all their books with a brand new colourful style and logo. the 2008 Beijing Olympics edition of Flaming Olympics is the first to undergo this change.

Murderous Maths and Foul Football

Two books in The Knowledge series are Murderous Maths and More Murderous Maths . However, Kjartan Poskitt incorporated these two books and many others into their own Murderous Maths series. Due to this, these two books don't have The Knowledge logo at the top any more and are now officially part of the Murderous Maths series. To avoid furthur confusion, Poskitt has recently renamed the two books with more catchy, unique titles. The same sort of incident has occurred with one The Knowledge book known as Foul Football, which has sparked a whole series of its own as well, called Foul Football.1
