Subject: [duxuser] buying braille books
Hello all,
First, I need a list of companies or agencies that offer braille books for
sale . Preferrably U.S. and Canada, but anywhere where books are produced
and sold basically at cost or thereabouts. I'm not looking for the major
printing houses like APH.
I've just helped an independent author produce his book in raille, and it
was a real life-changer for me. I felt that it needed to be in braille.
We're just getting to the stage of figuring out what to do with the braille
to get it in the hands of braille readers.
I will be sitting down with him in a few weeks and explaining how the
braille book world works as far as distribution goes. The final say is his,
but I need some ideas of who might accept braille files for distribution.
Also, can individuals donate braille files to the Library of Congress in the
States? I'm guesssing not.
Ideas welcome.
Jean
