[nabs-l] Sad news, from my DSO

[chris nusbaum]

Hi Ashley,

Braille Institute does a lot of braille transcribing. However, I don't
think they do a lot of textbooks. Joshua, maybe you could try
Googleing something to the effect of "college textbook Braille
transcribing agencies."

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If
a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can
be reduced to a mere physical nuissence." -- Kenneth Jernigan
