[nabs-l] books on blind history

Tue Jan 4 19:51:53 UTC 2011

I apologize if this suggestion has been made already but I haven't been able 
to review all the posts.  You should contact our Jacobus tenBroek Library 
and ask the library staff to give you research leads.  They may also be able 
to tell you how to get an accessible version of Hope Defered etc.  Call 410 
659-9314 and ask for the tenBroek Library.
