[NFB-Science] a list of books from nbp.org

Hello,
Brushing up your computer skills is definitely a good idea for those interested in STEM.
I have purchased several MSWord versions of computer manuals from National Braille Press.
These manuals are often written from a blindness perspective on how to use software applications effectively.
The website for National Braille Press is www.nbp.org<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbp.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cfcd344469d5347cd012608dafb02835b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638098285458028820%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=r9mEhlZ%2BllPMq3mxM7MxP5qUF5zJsCccYiwUetgrykA%3D&reserved=0>.

I enjoy the hard copy braille for quick reference but am liking the MSWord more now for copy-and-paste of key facts into my notes for later review.
The MSWord version also allows me to share a MSWord particular passage with a sighted assistant or friend to get the opinion of a sighted user for how to attack a particular problem.
