Hi, Lisa. Actually, I beg to differ. There are some NLS books that do have
running headers, maybe mostly nonfiction, but I have seen them in hardcopy
braille. Take care.

Hi.
I'm really hoping not to start a whole copyright discussion with this post,
heh. But, I don't see why it would be an issue to remove the headers, even
though they are part of the print books. NLS doesn't have the headers in
their braille or recorded copies, so I don't think it would be a copyright
infringement or anything.
