Mr. Fruchterman:
I am a Braille only reader due to deaf-blindness so I downloaded the BRF
copy. It has the print page numbers in the way that a print textbook does.
Since Braille takes p more room, we have things like 3b, 3c, which means we
are not yet at Page 4 in print. This is the way the National Library
Service notes the print page numbering in textbooks, so Braille readers
would be accustomed to this method. I shall leave it to someone else to
tell you about Daisy.
Thanks for your interest in our problems!
Regards,
Sue Stevens
P.S. This is how Oxford marks page print page numbers as well.

Charlene: I went to see the havoc wreaked by the stripper, so I
downloaded the book, Pickles Peaches and Chocolate. I found that every
page number was in there correctly in the DAISY version: looked like it
worked just as designed. Grabbing the page numbers for DAISY tags and
getting rid of extra stuff.
I wonder what's happening that you're not getting them, and I wonder if
people are tagging the stripper with other problems.
Is this book a problem for anyone else?

Hi everyone,
Thanks, Sharon for validating my book!
Today I went and downloaded the copy of Pickles Peaches and Chocolate
that is now up on bookshare just to see what the stripper did with my
book. Sure enough, there isn't a page number to be had in either the
daisy or brf version, I don't know what happened to them. Some of the
footer is there which originally had the page number in it so don't know
how that happened. The header is gone as I figured would happen. It's
probably a good thing that I kept the header so that the stripper
wouldn't dump the recipe titles instead. Interesting, too, is that the
page numbers even seem to be gone in the table of contents in the brf
copy, not the daisy though. I suppose I just bring up all the old
frustrations with the stripper again because it now would be hard for a
person to find anything in that book. The brf pages fall in the oddest
places. They don't follow the print pages so a title of a recipe will
be on one page and the rest on the next. My question is who'd want to
have that book brailled like that anyway? When books are brailled from
bookshare does someone go in and fix them at all?
This stripper really reaks havoc on some books that's for sure!!!
Charlene
