Hi Lori, I'm sending this to the list because other people might want to
know.
I'm not sure why you didn't find them, but NLS has a lot of books by Salman
Rushdie, including The Satanic Verses, RC 29207.
Fourteen records are listed. Taking away one that is in both braille and on
tape, Haroun and the sea of stories, BR 08488 and RC 32700, and another that
is being reissued, Midnight's Children, RC 16993 and INPROCESS, that leaves
an even dozen titles in the NLS collection.
So if you like his work, you'll want to check the list at NLS again, because
they have some that Bookshare doesn't have yet.
Evan
