[Ct-nfb] on the hunt for perfect Braille paper

[Justin Salisbury]

Dear Sandra,

It's always good to hear about other people from down east! I hope I get a chance to meet you at the state convention.

I always order my paper through the NFB independence market. It's a service that we run with the funds that we raise every day in the National Federation of the Blind. We sell items at cost.

It's easy to reach the independence market. Just call our national headquarters at 410-659-9314, and press the button indicated in the directory.

Good luck!

 First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

Hi, all!

I am on the hunt for the perfect Braille paper to use for transcribing my music scores for the Mystic River Chorale. Currently, I'm using American Thermoform paper, but it is my second choice, since it isn't as durable as what I really like, and, when I draw symbols through the underside of the shets with a pencil stylus, it is hard to control. What I really loved was the PermaNotebook paper that used to be available through ILA, but after extensive Internet search, am turning up nothing. It was a very smooth, probably shiny (as opposed to matte) surface, and the pencil stylus was much more controlable on it; plus, it kept the dots better. Anyone have ideas for me? Even if I obtained it from an individual who had extra that they don't want, that would also work. If there's something in the "sighted world" that would also work, I'm also in. I also did try a thicker version of American Thermoform paper, but had the same problem with its grainy texture as I did with the regular thickness-I really have my heart set on the smoothness of the PermaNotebook stuff. Thanks!


Thanks!
Sandra
