[Blindmath] Used Braille College Text Books

[Susan Mooney]

Where in the world is the university procuring the textbooks?  Does that
not seem a bit on the high side for you?  Most of the time the
instructors/profs will not use the entire text.  Perhaps the instructor can
outline which portions of the text s/he will be using and get only those
portions transcribed?  As a transcriber, I've done this many times.  That
figure is absolutely crazy.
