Andy, My apologies, don't think my arithmetic brain was in gear yesterday. It's currently 2 dollars to the pound, so you were closer than I was. Thanks.

They've usually got the type of thing you're after and do indeed have Frankenstein. http://www.audiobooksforfree.com/download/default.asp?refnum=1000370 <http://www.audiobooksforfree.com/download/default.asp?refnum=1000370&gg=1&p g=1&bt=Frankenstein> &gg=1&pg=1&bt=Frankenstein Despite the title of the website, there are multiple options for downloading books. You can get a relatively low quality copy for free, but if you select the most expensive options available for Frankenstein, you're looking at about $9, or £3.50 approx. in UK terms. It's really worth going for this option if it's feasible, as your son won't be distracted by the quality of the recording.

If he has a few weeks you might be able to get a copy read for the purpose from them, if they do not already have a copy in stock, in which case they could send it out to him almost immediately. I understand that they do supply many course Texts for Students etc. I do not have their phone number to hand, but if you were to ring Customer Services they would certainly put you through to the Transcription service. Customer Services are on 08457 023153 Hope this helps Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: Vicky <mailto:vicky1970@xxxxxxxxx> Burton To: recycle-it@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 10:37 PM Subject: [access-uk] Talking Book/mary shelly Hi I don't know if any one can help, My son is studying A level English and needs a copy of of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein on some sort of talking book format so he listen to it on an ipod.
