[nabs-l] Summer English Composition 2, class

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

Yes, definitely take Sophie up on her suggestion.  Talk to your
teacher and see if another edition of the book will suffice.

As for electronic format, did you mean you didn't want just audio or
any form of electronic file including electronic braille you could
read from a notetaker or braille display?  I ask because I searched it
on Bookshare and found the fifth edition with readings available in
brf format.  There is also another version of the textbook on the
site, although I'm assuming it's the first edition as it doesn't have
an edition number (it was copyrighted 2007 though).  Try giving the
fifth edition file on Bookshare a shot if you can.  If you really
don't want to read that on electronic braille you could always
download it and emboss it yourself too, although I would think that
would be time consuming and a little frustrating to deal with.
