[Nfb-krafters-korner] blowing my top

[David Andrews]

It has to be at least 14 point, and sent to a blind person too.  You 
couldn't, for example make it big, and send it to your sighted uncle.

There are oddities in the law too, or shall I say exceptions.  At 
work we use volunteers to record things for blind persons, and we can 
send them supplies, equipment and materials related to their 
recording, free matter.
