Ray,
There is a small, but encouraging, list of Daisy books available from
the RNIB online store.
I've just picked up a couple of titles from there and I suspect that if
it is something that is well supported, the book list may grow to become
more diverse.
Tink.

Subject: [access-uk] Unabridged books for Christmas?
An unabridged book is something I wouldn't mind as a Christmas present, but
how many are there? I've just bought one from the local BBC shop for
£12.99, Andy McNabb's Dark Winter. Others by Andy McNabb and other authors
are listed at:

Another publisher, I cannot recall who, has made a John Grisham title
available too unabridged, which I've seen in more than one bookshop. This
one sells at around £20.00.
The CD I've bought runs to some 12 hours or so, and I think the sort of
price I've paid is almost as close to the price for a paperback we are
likely to get. I know of course that Audible is now operating in the UK,
but I wonder if anyone has come across other publishers of unabridged books
in MP3 format.
Unabridged tapes are to be seen in very small numbers, and at very high
prices, and I doubt if anyone on this list would entertain cassette versions
of unabridged books now. So, just curious to know, much chance of a good
selection of unabridged titles for Christmas? Never mind 'Before we die?'
