[Blindmath] math books in LaTeX format

[Alastair Irving]

Hi

If a book was written fairly recently you can try contacting its author 
or publisher and requesting a copy of the LaTeX source.  Obviously they 
won't always still have the files or might not be happy to let you have 
them but generally I've been quite successful with this.

If you have an article or book in PDF you can try using InftyReader to 
perform OCR to convert it to LaTeX.  The accuracy varies considerably 
for different documents.

Finally, many papers now are put on arxiv.org before being published. 
In that case the LaTeX is often available.
