This is not a good idea.
Firstly, as Mayrie says, how will you know which pages to send her? Braille
pages are much different from print pages.
Secondly, NLS might take a dim view of their books being used in this way.
That's the feds: g men, FBI, homeland security. Plus, you might lose your
account with NLS. Each volume you download you swear on your first child's
name not to share the book. (Something like that.) It's an annoying
dialogue, but it may be more than that if someone from big brother figures
out what you are up to.
Secondly, how do you know if it's on web-Braille if you don't know the
author or title?
Thirdly, as someone has pointed out, these missing pages might be the result
of the scannor misnumbering. Or, they may be pages with pictures or maps.
Note to Georgina (not a reprimand, just advice to a newbie (and, btw,
welcome to the list.) It would have saved a lot of time and email writing if
you had given the title, author and copyright date of the book in your first
message to the list. Someone might write back and say "Oh, I have that
book." And the rest is history.

Hi,
Uh, maybe you have some knowledge that I don't. But, how are you
going to determine what page she needs? Print page numbers in the book
aren't going in any way to match the page numbers in a brf file from NLS.
Without reading the whole book, how are you going to know what to send
her?
