[blparent] large print books

[David Andrews]

I don't think NLS itself provides any large-print books, but they do 
have a "Reference Section" which may be able to provide you with 
info.  Many regional libraries do provide large-print books, and also 
have reference librarians who will do research for you.  Many public 
libraries, likewise have some large-print and will do reference work.

I know there are some companies who produce large-print books, and 
have catalogs, I remember reading about them in the past, but I can't 
name them off the top of my head.  As someone once told me -- "Google 
is your friend!"
