<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello List:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I haven't seen much on
this list for a while. I was perusing the RFB&D catalog and experimenting
with downloading DAISY books. I tried the term "blind" in the title field of the
catalog and found Wilson's Biography Of The Blind as edited by Stuckey (SP?).
The book makes interesting reading although sometimes a bit tedious. This book
is also available in braille and as a talking book from NLS. I think one of the
most interesting aspects of this book is that Wilson who was blind from the age
of four managed to get it put together with the first edition being published in
1821. The modern version is drawn from all four editions of the work and there
are additional comments interspersed.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> As an aside, the RFB&D
system for downloading DAISY books works and its great to be able to have a book
without having to order it. More later.</FONT></DIV>
