[nabs-l] Requesting Titles From NLS

[Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr.]

There are representatives from each region and from organizations advising 
NLS on what to add to the collection.

I believe the NFB is represented in this regard by Anil Lewis.

This information comes out periodically in the braille book review and 
talking book topics.
