Hi Richard and Others,
As far as something printable, you are right, but if you are a member of
the National Library Service For The Blind And Physically Handicapped
Free Reading Program, there is a Daisey accessible and downloadable
version that is produced every month.
Visit loc.nls.gov and sign up if you aren't already a member and you
could have this in totally accessible form. You must be a resident of
the US or it's territories to qualify with a handicapping condition that
prevents you from reading normally.
