A Braille project

Hi everyone,

I have agreed to allow ten of my books to be released in Braille editions to be placed in area public libraries at no cost. The Legends Project is a nonprofit organization established to make more books available to blind and visually impaired readers. I’m delighted to be asked. Years ago part of one of my books was released in Braille and I’ve often thought that I would love to have more of my work made available this way. Here’s a recent TLP press conference in a neighboring community.

I’m providing the project director with this list of books, two extra in case alternates are needed. I won’t be paid for this project. The Legends folks will raise the money to cover costs. A law signed in 1996 makes it legal to take copyrighted materials into Braille as long as no one is paid and its for educational purposes. The process of creating a Braille edition will take half a year or so after the funds are raised.
