hi all, especially Jackie C,

I placed an order with Persula today and checked their formats.  The catalogues 
go out in large print (16 point font or above), on CD (they didn't specify 
format, but I presume some version of audio, since they used to do tape), and 
email.  So, if you're getting print versions of the catalogues and need a 
different format, then just ask, on 020 7357 9298. 

Best,
Clive

Absolutely not!  The recipient must be blind or partially sighted.

Hi George
So can  a company  avoid paying postage, by mailing
*all* customers  16 point typeface or above.

Regards,  Derek
