[Blindtlk] Walking Alone and Marching Together M4B

[T. Joseph Carter]

If you can play MPEG4 AAC, yes, just change the extension to .mp4 and 
it will work, but without the bookmark features that I’d think would   
be essential for a book this long.  But the NFB website does have it 
in plain .mp3 (which is what I used to make this, a quick Google 
should take you right to the mp3 version.
