Rob Bulloch Posted 18 July , 2007 Share Posted 18 July , 2007 Hello to the Forum. Has there been any Great War books, for example Martin Middlebrook or Lyn MacDonald, have any of their books been put into to an audio format for the visually impaired, or for others that are physically challenged and not able to handle a book. just a thought. Cheers All Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanCurragh Posted 18 July , 2007 Share Posted 18 July , 2007 I've never ordered CDs from Abebooks, but I'm sure that the other internet bookseller starting with A has them! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted 20 July , 2007 Share Posted 20 July , 2007 I have explored this problem on behalf of a family member who is extremely partially sighted. You could try posting your question on the RNIB book review forums: here and here. (Rather slow to load.) See Revealweb for more resources on accessible media. Search the RNIB catalogue of books. We are considering purchasing one of the optical readers which scans the text and transmits it to a television screen or monitor, as listening isn't everyone's method of choice. I'm sorry, I only know British sources. Gwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wig Posted 12 September , 2007 Share Posted 12 September , 2007 I am not partialy sighted but I bought the 3 CD version of Brothers in War because I like to listen to stories in the car. I bought it second hand in an Edinburgh Charity Shop whilst on my hols last month. Finished with it now. I will send on to any member who might like, partilaly sighted or not. I will pay the postage on condition that when whoever gets it has finsihed it they do the same for someone else. PM me. wig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
