I think, part of the issue, smile, if there is one.
Is that predominantly the organizations that do brailling, are predominantly
organizations with a "mission" in mind.
This is actually how blind rehab in all its forms started with the
Pennsylvania Bible Association and teaching people bralle so they could read
the Bible.
I think that is the issue, smile. And it is wonderful to have a secular
site that will accept everything.
Smile.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Yes! Julie! I totally agree. It's kind of interesting how there are
people making a big deal about Christian books. It's like they think we're
going to try and take over Book Share. No one's forcing anyone to read the
Christian books. I'm glad to have them! They're hard to find! Keep
scanning Christian books! God bless.
