I was under the impression from something Laura Ingraham said about her book
that perhaps there was at least one chart in the book. Perhaps I
misunderstood or your wife just didn't see it. If in fact there are no
charts that would cause a problem, that is an excellent piece of news.
Thanks.

I asked my wife to check the book today and she explained that while there
were no charts that she found, there were lines of text at the beginning of
chapters which looked bolded and script-like, as well as offset blocks of
text every so many pages (this last is my rephrasing). I have not bought or
requested the book pending admin status clarification.
Hope this helps.

Hi, Lori. I don't have the print book, so I don't know how many charts are
in it. I've been told that there are several, and that's what has me
thinking that I'd do a bad job with scanning the book. I don't mind taking
on difficult scans as long as I have some hope of doing a good job. That's
why I wanted to get the library book instead of buying it. Buying a book and
finding it unscannable is somehow worse than not having it at all. I know
why sighted people use charts. It makes sense to me. As a blind person who
scans, I despise them because I feel like I'm letting our readers down
because I can't fix them. I have 3 books in my not submitted folder of books
in Kurzweil because the books contain charts and graphs. I'm waiting on
Christmas vacation to get some help from my daughter in typing in the data
before I can submit them. You know, because of the perversity of life, it
would be just the thing if Power To The People has no charts at all and my
information is wrong. Sort of like buying a lottery ticket only to find that
it expired last week and won't be entered into the drawing.
