Nancy,
There may be several reasons why this book has such a high KB file size.
the one reason I can think of is that the Braille book was submitted
separately. But, more importantly, the final DAISY size depends on the
original/validated file size. Basically the BRF file is a plane-text file
with braille contractions represented by ASCII characters and requires much
less space to store than a fully-formatted book that contains variety of
characteristics. Unless someone goes through both versions of the book to
compare page-by-page, I'm not sure we'll learn the reason.
