[Nfb-krafters-korner] Trying again with my Horizons query

[Catherine jacobse]

oh, I do not have any opinion on one format better than another.  No braille in my abilities.
I take it you find it easier to do braille than listen.  Weneed to do  what works for each of us.
I find it slim pickings for accessible craft books.

Luck to you, 
Catherine
