It depends on the book. Just looked at 3 books  I have here. One has no 
headers. One has chapter title headers on the odd pages; one has the author's 
name on the odd-numbered pages and the book title on the even-numbered pages. I 
ignore them when reading except, as I said before, if I'm reading a book of 
short stories-

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a header the title of a 
book? For example, in Braille books, I was accustomed to reading the title of 
the book on every odd numbered page. Now one sees the book title on the 
prefatory page where one gets the bibliographic information of the book and on 
the first page of text, I.e., where the story or document begins. I don't know 
what print books are like, but do you have the Book title on only the odd 
numbered pages or on all pages? I was pretty much able to ignore the book title 
on the various pages, though it tends to interrupt the reading just a bit 
because you have to skip the title line. Regards, 
Kim.

    Valerie, we are supposed to delete them, but be careful to 
      leave the page number.

As a sighted person, do you pay attention to 
      them? I never do. smile. Maybe if I were reading a book of short stories 
      I'd use them to find a particular story, but otherwise I  just ignore 
      them, I think those members who listen to books don't have that 
      opportunity if the headers are present. I don't know how they affect 
      Braille readers.

        Dear Bud;

I just noticed that you also are a 
        ham radio operator. I am also in my call
sign is: 
        N0HSJ
<br>I have a question probably as much for 
        the list as for you, and that was
talking about all headers have been 
        deleted. Do you mean at the top of the
page were sometimes it has the 
        title and/or the name of the chapter? I have
not been deleting these, 
        as I think they provide visual cues for sighted
readers, but if I 
        should be deleting them, I will start with my next book.
Or, is it 
        okay to do it whichever way and just make a note in 
        the
submissions?

Thanks as always for everyone's 
        help!

Valerie
