[blindkid] question about books

[Carly B]

Thanks, Brandy, and everyone for your suggestions! I'm ordering some books
from our state Braille library, and the Brailler at the State Academy is
going to emboss some books for us as well.

I dont' know about the rest of you, but the books I've gotten from Seedlings
just fall out of the comb binding. I'll check into the other publishers
mentioned, though.

Thanks again! My son is determined to win this year's Braille Readers are
Leaders for his age category! ;)
