Hi Sandi,
No, the images won't be accessible. If they were, they'd have been rendered
readably in the daisy file in the first place. Sorry!

Hi Mary,
I can try to get them as Daisy books with images, but will those images be
readable? The symbols are often x's or *'s, but sometimes are cute little
icons used to represent a particular stitch. Ah, the very good old days
when patterns were written out, not represented in charts!
