Hey, I second that.  To whom could we write to suggest making this possible for 
not only this but other handcopied titles?  Have a blessed day.

  I remember reading a few of these when I was a kid. I think some of those 
handcoppied braille books should be scanned by the optical braille scanner and 
added to web braille for posterity, and so we don't loose access to those rare 
books.

  Hi, all, I have recently learned about a set of books about a nurse named 
Cherry Ames.  One author started out writing them and then gave copyright to 
another author, so I'm not sure which author to list, but the NLS only has them 
in handcopied braille--high demand, low quantity of copy, and when it's gone, 
it's gone, and hard records from way back, and they recalled their record 
players.  This seems to be a really good set of books about a nurse.  Some of 
the titles include Cherry Ames, Veteran nurse; Cherry Ames, Boarding School 
nurse; Cherry ames, Cruise Nurse; Cherry Ames, Jungle nurse, and there are 
several others.  I think these would add nicely to bookshare and hopefully will 
be easy scans.  Have a blessed day, thanks in advance, and happy 
scanning/proofreading.
