[nfb-talk] Looking for Braille Books for Braille Book Flea Market

[Steve Jacobson]

Terry,

Dave Andrews was forwarding a note from Peggy Chong who is the person looking for books.  She is not on most of these lists, but she may have experience with 
making Twin Vision books or know what chapters have done.  Her e-mail address is in the note that Dave forwarded, but it is

"Peggy Chong" <PeggyChong at earthlink.net>

I believe the most common way of making books like this is to put braille on clear plastic labels cutting them out to fit the pages.  This does not necessarily mean you 
have to remove the binding.  Sometimes the clear sheets cover the entire page, but other times one just needs to label pictures and perhaps braille what amounts to 
a line or two of text depending upon the age level of the books.
