[BlindTlk] Braille books in old old

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Erika,

Actually, if you can do UEB braille, you can also read US.  There are differences in the punctuation and numbers formatting, but the numbers and letters themselves are all the same.  Most of the contractions are the same, they have done away with some of them, but you will never find a strange formation of dots you can't recognize.

I took the UEB course, just to know what it is like, and although I prefer US braille, I can read the UEB.

I’m wondering what people are doing with braille books that are in that were produced before the 2015 change over to UEB. I have braille books that I really don’t want to toss, but I can’t read them well enough in the pre-2015 braille to justify keeping. I’m willing to send them overseas or free matter them to someone who can’t send them overseas. Let me know.
