[Blindtlk] Seedlings Braille Books for Children Adds New Books to Catalog

[Michelle Medina]

This is great news!
However, I'm wondering, is there a place that provides books for us
adults? Maybe you've gotten the question before, but I've looked at
the Braille Bookstore online. They don't offer alot, mostly for
cooking & such.
My computer isn't working correctly, so I don't own any of the Victor
reading software, etc, plus I like my books in hard cover (or Braille
anyway, & I would even like to keep them instead of having to send
them back as you do with the library.
So if anyone has any advice/suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
