Collins has bought the rights to tie-in books to a new BBC science series from Professor Brian Cox and the next two books in the Hummingbird Bakery series.
Associate publisher Myles Archibald bought world rights to Wonders of the Solar System, published in November, and follow-up title Universal by Professor Cox directly from the BBC for an undisclosed sum.
Meanwhile, senior editor Lizzy Gray bought world rights to the next two Hummingbird Bakery Cookbooks from Zoe Waldie at Rogers, Coleridge & White. The first book will be published in April 2011.
The first title, published by Ryland, Peters & Small, has sold more than 120,000 copies since publication last year.
