Rose I put web Braille books on my bookport all the time I like listening to
them and I don't have a lot of large Braille book boxes at my door that are
hard to return. With web Braille you can go back and look for books that
they had years a go that you have forgotten about.
I never order Braille books because they were so hard to return back to
the library.
In Philadelphia they say only ten percent read Braille now with the book
port the number will most likely go up.
Hear is something else to think about you don't need to know Braille to
put a book on your bookport.

Am I the only one who sometimes reads the Braille Book review and does not
find any books that look interesting? Then there are times when I want them
all. Weird I guess.

Web Braille books for November-December are already posted, and the Braille
Book Review home page has been nicely redesigned. Issues for the years 1994
through 2005 each have their own page according to year. For example,
"Issues for 2005," "Issues for 2004," etc. Nice, sleek design, and I think
most of you will find it easier to navigate than having a single page
containing years and years' worth of links. Pretty good selection of titles
this time, too, including Mark Twain's "Personal Recollections of Joan of Ark," and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway novels. The South Beach Diet and South Beach Cookbook are also there, as is Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Above all, though, check out that nice new Braille Book Review home page. Somebody deserves kudos for that.
