good morning. Most of you are probably familiar with National Braille Press. They produce affordable braille books, both paper and electronic. The book on the iPhone which I co-authored with Anna Dresner will be coming out sometime in the next month, for instance. The electronic versions are increasingly available as DAISY, and are also available as plain text, so braille knowledge isn't necessary to benefit from them.

As I write their books nowadays, I am unofficially asking what kinds of computer books you would like to see, and        would buy. We are working on Office 2010 Reference cards now. What else would you like to see? What would most help the people you work with? 

Let me stress that this is my own information-gathering initiative. Any information i get will be looked at, but I am asking, not NBP. NBP charges as little as they can for books, but they have to have some notion that a book will sell "so copies, enough to make it not too much of a losing proposition, before they write it. 

It is probably best that you reply to me individually about this as it isn't really a matter of discussion. I can send a summary of responses if I get some.

Thanks for thinking about it.

Dean
