Hi Cindy,
Sorry. I did mean $3.50. This is the organization you get in touch with when 
you follow a link to get an embossed copy of a book. They do not do music. 
Sorry I'm mixing things up.

Jim

Jim, $350? I hope you mean $3.50 a braille page. Even that seems a little high. 
I trust they are going to have it proofread first. Do you know if the person is 
using Braille music software?
