A lot of those books that were in my office were on thermoform so they
held up pretty well. The binders and book covers got old and and started
to break. Those books were treasures, but they were not mine to keep,
otherwise I would have.
Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. This is so tragic, and you are in my
thoughts
Please take care of yourself and I'm so glad that you have those
memories of good times together.

On a second topic, I just read through that list of cookbooks. Can you imagine
having all of those in your library? If they were braille rather than
electronic copies, I'd have to move out of my house in order to make room for
all the braille books. I thought I had collected a lot of recipes over the
years but mine are nothing compared to all the ones on that list.

Hi everyone:
in the seventies there was a lady who wrote a Mexican cookbook who was blind.
Her name was Elena, and I can't remember the last name. She also had a
cooking/kind of dear Abby radio show in Los Angeles. Does anyone know about her?
Also, I wonder if we took a survey who would say they like Ueb? Maybe it's just
the learning curve, or something, but I wish Braille hadn't changed.
Everyone stay well and safe!

Hi Pauline,\
You may be right about places feeling uncomfortable about sending braille books
out.
I’ve gotten a couple of them from Dr. McGee’s Bible bus place in California
over the summer. But they are for you to just keep, not something coming back
to them if you are borrowing books as you would at the Library.
They do sell copies of some of the stuff but cannot sell it if it was donated
to them from someone.
I like the cookbooks that they have from churches, those recipes are so good.
They give you a month but you can ask for one more month if you can’t finish
with it right away.
I record them on my Victor Stream. That way I am not frazzled about getting
them back to them on time.
I did get your message in the other place and will get back to you very soon.

Good Afternoon,
I have not heard of this Indiana resource Lora mentioned. Could you
post contact information for them, please? You may not be getting
materials from them due to what's going on right now. I have heard
from several correspondents that their libraries have temporarily
stopped sending out braille materials due to the pandemic. One of the
places that sends out monthly devotionals has done this.
On another subject, I am with Lora as far as UEB. I can read it but
don't like it. I wouldn't have taken courses to learn it if I hadn't
had the possibility of needing to teach it. Of course, I don't have to
worry about that right now.

Hey, have any of you guys gotten braille cookbooks to borrow from the
Braille Library and Transcribing Service in Indianapolis, Indiana?
I just started getting them somewherearound a year and a half ago. I
think I had about 8 books, but have not received one for a couple months.
I also get Seeing It Our Way Magazine.

Yes, they would have to be put into UEB. So somebody would have
weeks and weeks of back-translator fun. It would probably be easier
to just retype them.

I think for NLS to reissue the books they would have to be put into UEB.
I have a braille copy of "THE BRAILLE COOKBOOK COMPILED FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE BLIND HOUSEWIFE." By Marjorie S. Hooper, Braille
Editor American Printing House for the Blind and Mrs. Paul J. Langan
Kentucky School for the Blind. It says it was embossed in 1948. This
book is only one volume. It describes the labels in the introduction
but, the book I have does not have any remaining. It goes on to say
that you can purchase labels from APH or "the housewife can make her
own with a slate and
Stiless and gummb lables from the dime store.
Looked to see if I could locate the recipe for BIG BOY but it does
not seem to be in the index with that name.
