Good news! We have located a relative of the author of the series of
drawing books. (the author Mrie Porter is deceased). The Guild for the
Blind who produced the books originally has no further interest in the
books. Just last night I sent an email to the relative (a son or nephew
I'm not sure). I've been told that he is willing to co-operate in making
the Braillables technique available again but I eagerly await his personal
reply. He may wish to re-sell some of the books (there are quite a few
including several manuals) or he may be willing to place the books in the
public domain. Either way, it will be a great service to the blind
community.
It is with great sorrow that we lament the many methods for producing
tactile drawings which have come and gone because their creatores never
left instructions.
