Hi Lora, I have the book copyrighted 1976. But I've never seen the 1990 book. By the time I learned about it, they were all sold. Last week I ordered the latest book from National Braille Press. I can't remember the exact name of it but will look it up if requested. It's something like favorite recipes from our readers. The book costs $9. I can't wait to see the 1990 book.

Oh my gosh, Carol! I just opened the box! There are two Our Special Cookbooks there! One is copyright 1976 and the other is copyright 1990. They are in perfect condition as far as I know. Good thing I have that security system on our house, LOL! I could transcribe the contents and put them into our little family of groups. I will try to do it before the end of the year as a Christmas present for all of you and then you guys can let me know. Wow, that would be a big project for me to actually get them into my computer. Shooee! The first one is about 81 pages and the second aboutg 112 I think. It feels really fat compared to the second. I do not know if there are duplicates, I am just overwhelmed and I need to write the gentleman and thank him again, now that I found out what was there. I am really honored. He lost his wife six days after I lost George and I just met him because I answered his ad to give away some recipes. He also sent me a box of hand-copied braille recipes, some of which is on thermoform type pages that will not wear down. I have two volumes of the Evelyn Lee Cookbook from the 60s and a 1948 one volume book called The Braille Cookbook, and somewhere in this house is a little Campbell cookbook and my Cooking Without Looking the first book. I do not know where my son put those. Erg! But this one I am going to watch like a hawk so it will not go anywhere and try to get some of this stuff into my computer! Whoo-hoo!
