Harry,

I would contact National Braille Press. I don't know how quickly they can transcribe your book but if they can't they might be able to direct you somewhere else. I think there is a list of Braille transcribers on the NLS website but I am not sure. You could also contact NFB, ACB, APH, or AFB.

Subject: [VICUG-L] anyone know of a great company that does braille production?

Hi all,

Well folks, I need to find, desperately, a company who does braille production of books.

I'm a ham radio operator, and I have done business with a fantastic company, that does a fantastic, job, brailling ham radio books.

I wasn't the first blind ham to come to them, fortunately, there was a ham, before me, who came to them, for a ham radio book, to be brailled, and he told them how he wanted it brailled, and if they had any questions, that they could ask him.

They did a fabulous job!!!

I heard about them, so I tried them, and the quality is fantastic!!!!

Here's the problem, they take forever, to run my card, and get paid.

The first time, it took a month, after I called them, the day I got the book, and she said she would run the card, and didn't, for a month.

Now, in April, I got a book from them, and immediately, called them, and said, "I got the book, it's wonderful, here's my card number, please, run the card.

She said, I will do it.

It's been almost a month, and my money is still, there, and oh could I use it, I'm in really, really bad, financial shape right now!

So, if anyone knows of a great company, that does great braille work, and the company wants to be paid, and doesn't take forever to get paid,

please let me know.

thanks,

Harry
