Thank you Jill.
I often wondered about the exact wording of this as I have had similar
experiences over the years. (Especially when I am mailing boxes of books to UPS
for the book fair!) I try to mail them one at a time, on different days so
as not to overwhelm anyone, but still get an odd look or questioned from
time to time. Not a big deal, but have been doing this for years now, so it
would be nice to not have to worry about whether or not this is a day that
I will get questioned or if it will go smoothly. We have many post offices
in our area and find the same reaction at most of them. It seems to depend
on the day. So, thanks again. I will continue to politely explain "Free
Matter for the Blind" to the employees at the post office, but will feel that
I have more knowledge to back me up, if needed, always a good thing.

Hi All,
Every few years we have a little hassle with the Post Office over mailing
Braille books to the Braille Flea Market. I'm just passing along the link
to Publication 347, which outlines the rules for mailing things "Free
Matter". We are definitely allowed to mail Braille books to the flea
market! Here's the link:
