Hi, Yes, I did the same thing yesterday, and they said that the books will be there next week. Is it a lot of Braille? Will I be able to carry them home on the bus? And which materials are covered? One thing I'm interested in is the restaurant book, but I'm not sure that's included in the basic materials. Thanks for the tip. They were both polite and somewhat knowledgeable yesterday when I called, which was pleasantly surprising. _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rebecca Ilniski Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2008 5:49 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: Weight Watchers Introductory Materials I got my books at the local weight watchers meeting. They ordered them for me ahead of time in Braille and they were there for me when I signed up. I just called the weight watchers at 1-800-456-6363.

Where are the points books, and the basic book? I don't think I saw them.

I know there are a lot of weight watchers books on step one that are in .kes format. I know the main weight watchers book is in Braille as well as the points guide.

I know that they have a lot of introductory materials that they provide to their clients. Are these materials in accessible format? Has someone taken the time to scan them into an accessible format? I see lots of Weight Watchers books on Bookshare, but this isn't exactly what I mean. For the first ten weeks of the program, Weight Watchers distributes printed materials, or so I'm told. In addition, there are books I don't see up here, like the points guides for regular foods, as well as those for various meals at restaurants. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
