Hi, Jamie,
Yes, there are several books I have in mind. I'll start with the Scrabble
ones. The dictionary would just be a huge effort, I'd imagine, but not
impossible. The trouble would be with the strategy books, for Scrabble and
many other games. How do you describe the various pictures? And it would
be a labor of love to do it. That's why I've stalled on these so far; I'd
definitely need a sighted scanner/validator with a love for these kinds of
things . If anyone were willing, I'd be more than happy to purchase books
and send them to that brave soul. :-)

Lora, I have a book on playing Canasta that I am planning to scan. Are there
particular books on board and card games you have in mind?
I did the 50 Card Games for Children book and I think it came out pretty
well even though it used symbols for the hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs.
I think I just typed in the name of the suit where the symbols appeared.
