Well, I checked with RNIB and the book won't be available until May though it can be ordered now.
However, it is priced at almost £30 which sounds a bit on the expensive side to me considering the previous Morley Windows books only cost about £10. I shall still have it though.
Best wishes, Joan.----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Toner" <barry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Excellent George, Even though i've been using 7 very comfortably since the Beta in Feb 09 I think i'll snag this book. You never know what visual things will be explained that can often help even the power users. A mainstream book I'd recommend to all sighted and VI is Windows 7 Secrets by Mr Paul Thurrott'. I've been following this guys work for the past 8 years, though he's been going for much longer than that. You can find more info on the book as well as many useful articles on his site at http://www.winsupersite.com Barry. -----Original Message-----From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] OnBehalf Of George Bell Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 11:21 AM To: bcab@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] FW: Windows 7 and Vista Explained books - now available to order from RNIB What many of you have been waiting for - details below.
