Hi Betsy, I was glad for the post I sent it along to a few friends. As for purchasing these types of books I have several. I use to get them and my dad would read and describe the diagrams and photographs. I am not sure but I think that rfbd may have some recorded. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 3:00 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Faulty Instructions Prompt Recall of ElectricalWiring How-to-Books
Aloha Barry, I doubt any of us would purchase these books either, but when this alert came out at the end of December I did send it to the list. I thought people might know folks who would buy it. Thanks for the reminder. Betsy At 07:51 AM 2/9/2009, you wrote: >Howdy Folks, I doubt that many among us blind handyfolks would purchase >these particular books...
