[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cookbook project, Joyce

[Marianne Denning]

Terry, I think this is a great idea and a digital file that we could
sell on a thumb drive, sd card... would also be great.  Coming up with
a cd player may be a challenge for some of us. I am also an avid
braille reader but braille books can be very expensive, as some people
have mentioned.  If we have any braille proofreaders on this list they
may consider volunteering their time to cut down the cost of braille
production.
