Oh, cool! I am thinking of calling them and subscribing to their magazine
because I have been given several of them now and they are nice one volume
magazines. They are making braille a little bit of fun again.

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.
Nancy

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!

Lora, I would love it if you would E-mail the contents from the cookbook
to me so that I could write to you and let you know which recipes I would
like to have for my collection.
Thank you so much for your offer.
Sincerely,
Carol B.

I have just received some Our Special magazines and there may be a
cookbook in there, but I do not know the year of its publication or
whether it was the first, second, or whatever. I won't give them up, but
if someone wants to know the contents or wants recipes, I can help.

I use it every year when I make pumpkin bread as gifts, and it's great.
I'd
love to have a new copy of that book, because the Braille on my copy is
so
worn. If anyone has one they'd like to give away, I'd love to know
about
it.

Hi everyone,
If someone has a copy of that first Our Special cookbook put out by the
National Braille Press, I'd like your opinion on the pumpkin bread
recipe.
It doesn't call for any oil, shortening or butter. All others I've read
use
some kind of fat ingredient. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
On a similar note, if anyone knows where I could buy a copy of the
second
Our Special cookbook put out by the National Braille Press, I'd be
interested.
thanks,
Nancy Martin
