Copies of the Readers' Digest used to appear failry regularly at Dorton. I
think it was monthly, in three or maybe four volumes of American braille. I
remember that quite a lot of text was written in capitals so there were
great chunks with the double dot six before each word. I think there was
also a short shory magazine but can't now recall any details.

The Children's Braille Annuals only appeared for a few years. My grandmother
used to buy them for me each year. And , of course, once you had read them
you had the fun of changing the words by picking the odd dot off.

The only time I remember seeing American braille when very young was in a
magazine called Jack and Jill. I remember loving this, but it didn't appear
very often, or we didn't get hold of it very often anyway. Clare
