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- Cindy Wish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites below Wish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+List Books Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List --- On Wed, 8/19/09, Kim Friedman <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Kim Friedman <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] headers and footersRE: Re: Question, was: submitted The Little Bookheaders To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 4:10 AM 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.

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.

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!
