Is there a service similar to the Library for Blind (which supplies free
books on tape) for Large Print books? For those people who have low vision
and can only read large print -- but do not want to resort to books on tape
while they can still read SOMETHING -- is there a service that will send LP
books through the mail free of charge? Many libraries, especially in small
towns, have a such a small LP collection that an avid reader can exhaust it
in a matter of weeks.
Thanks for your help (this affects someone in my family). You may reply to
me directly if you think the list would not be interested.

I thought the Library for the Blind did include large print books in their
service. I know they include Braille books.
My first book, THE COLOR OF LOVE, w/a Binnie Syril (Harlequin Temptation) was
accepted for transcription (I don't what medium, thought) by the Library of
Congress. And so was fellow romance writer Rebecca York's FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
(Harlequin Intrigue - 43 Light Street Series.

Slightly off topic, but I hope you can help.
Is there a service similar to the Library for Blind (which supplies
free
books on tape) for Large Print books? For those people who have low
vision
and can only read large print -- but do not want to resort to books on
tape
while they can still read SOMETHING -- is there a service that will
send LP
books through the mail free of charge? Many libraries, especially in
small
towns, have a such a small LP collection that an avid reader can
exhaust it
in a matter of weeks.
Thanks for your help (this affects someone in my family). You may
reply to
me directly if you think the list would not be interested.
