[Nfb-krafters-korner] VI/Blind and crafting

Wed Jan 12 15:25:01 UTC 2011

Not all books are available for sale from Volunteer Braillists and Tapists. 
Some things they bought from other sources and have only their copies. It is 
true that if they transcribed the book, it can be bought. However, this one 
appears to be one they bought.

You can also buy a copy of a braille book from them.
