[blparent] Braille Books Needed!

[Barbara Hammel]

I don't suppose so.  Some of the books I've seen don't even have the title 
page done.  We just Braille them for our children and when they outgrow them 
we gove them for the flea market.
Just make sure it's as perfect as you can get it.
Barbara

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
