Rnib Talking Books

[TerryFrancis]

I'd love to read some talking books for the RNIB (make use of my talents, I suppose). Anyone know how I can go about doing this? And, yes, I know it's unpaid and voluntary - but would love to do a couple of books.

I'll fire some relevant links in your direction, so that you can see if any are relevant to you:

However I'll also mention that a few years ago a well-loved AB member, Woodelf (who has lost his sight), was asking if anyone would be kind enough to record some books for him. As far as I recall, nobody came forward, so he might still be looking for someone to help him. His email address is on his website:

What an incredibly nice gesture. Good luck Terry!
