[duxuser] Questions for a friend that is losing her sight

A friend of mine who has been deaf since age four is now going blind.  She 
has started using a cane and is learning braille.  She has asked me about 
purchasing an embosser, but I'm not sure they can afford one.  I'm going 
to lend her one of my Perkins Braillers, but is there a decent embosser 
out there on the low end of the money scale?

Any and all ideas on things like this would be greatly appreciated.  And 
where do people get their braille books?  She has a son that is in 
Kindergarten and I'm brailling some books for her to read to him, but 
she's looking for books that have been done professionally so that her son 
can still look at the pictures. 

Thank you!
