Hi Lisa, I suspected that the list wouldn't allow attachments. Here's the book in Word format for your enjoyment! Happy New Year! - Judi >>> lisa.yayla@xxxxxxxxxx 01/05/06 10:49 AM >>> Hi Judy, Unfortunately the list doesn't accept attachments because of possibility of viruses. It is wonderful that you have Marie Porter's Braillables! I have been trying to get hold of them for a long time now. Not so easy from over here in Norway. What type of file do you have them in? I would really appreciate a copy and would help send on to others that wished. As for color Braille a colleague after seeing the Google Braille liked it very much because she felt it would be helpful for people who are learning Braille by sight- each letter is more distinct from the one before and after visually.
