Talking Books

          Talking Books have been around since the 1930s. They have been and still are being enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of blind people like myself. While they certainly don't Braille Literacy, they do get the information across and I hope they're around for a long time, if for no other reason than I really enjoy being read to.

          Here are some articles about Talking Books.
