[nfbmi-talk] hot off the Press

[Gkitchen]

Hi,

I talked to the National Braille press this morning. They have a new Braille book $9. it is a book of  quotations, a third in a series so far. I  assume it is in other formats as well. This book is good perhaps for new readers of grade two who are  older teenagers or adults.

I asked them about the 20 cell braille notetaker Mr. Blazie and his son are helping to develop. They said it would be out early in 2013 or by summer. I sort of think that summer will be when it comes out. Of course, I am just guessing.  
Their web site is
www.nbp.org

They have a number of books about iso devices and other technology booklets or books. 

Speaking of technology,  has anyone heard how accessible the  microsoft's windows 8 is going to be. I heard it wasn't that good as far as accessibility for the average person.??
