Yes, isn't it amazing how small accessible books have become?  At the school
for the blind there was a 144 volume braille World Book Encyclopedia.  It
took up 60 feet of shelve space, an entire wall.  When my brother and I went
back to public high school, we had a braille Webster's Pocket dictionary.
It was 26 volumes.  You needed a wagon instead of a pocket.

Hi Annette,

Oh that is so sweet that you thought that you would not get any more books.
I think I am curious to read Ramona too. I guess those first looks really
made a big impression on us. Little did we think back then would be carrying
a book around in our pocket.
