[nabs-l] Looking to Borrow/Obtain Braille Material

[Antonio Guimaraes]

Hi there Monica,

The book Just Enough to Know Better is sold right out of the room where I 
sit. We at National Braille Press produce and sell this print and braille 
book for $15. It comes with a Braille Symbols Charts, a $5 value included 
with the book.

The chart is in large print.

To order call 1800 548-7323.

I would also be willing to pass along issues of Readers Digest in Braille. 
One of these is 3 braille volumes, written in grade two contracted braille, 
and in interpoint, so be warned. You'll be getting all the reading material 
you are asking for and more.

Reply privately, and we can set up for me to send you a few issues 
personally.

Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr.
