> You should get "Free Matter for the Blind" stickers, which you can order from the Independence Market for $3.5. Their phone number is (659) 410-9314x 2216Monday to Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
> You get a pack of ninety stickers, three sheets of thirty.
> The sticker goes in the top-right corner (think braille numbers on a page) where the postage would normally go. Hope this helps!
