Hi, Jamie, I certainly wouldn't object if the cookbook list was forwarded to the whole group on this list. I think I sent the thing as an attachment. I wouldn't mind proofreading a cookbook if it were just a matter of making it look like what I've seen in Braille from NLS. I don't recall reading any cookbooks in column format in Braille. Evelyn Lee's Cookbook and Evelyn Lee's New Cookbook were the exceptions to the rule. She was a blind cook and Braille Institute published her stuff in Braille. I have no idea if it ever was in print. She had abbreviations peculiar to her, btr. as an abbreviation for butter for instance. I have no idea what daisy cookbooks should look like. If it were just me, and I had the cookbook on my BrailleNote, and I could proofread the thing in Grade two Braille, which is how I'd read the thing anyway, I'd take you up on this. Yeah, pluck my feathers and call me matzo ball soup. (Bak-bak-bak).

Just barely. What I can sometimes do when it's too big, if it is in columns, like this one is, is scan the page twice but it's an awful lot of work. And I imagine it would be a big hassle for someone without sight. I wonder if Cindy should put your cookbook list on the wishlist in case others can also get them from their library? I will do more after CookWise but I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Years of Wonder: A Novel of the Plague by Geraldine Brooks See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4623 (20091119) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4624 (20091120) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
