About Beth's Books

Beth Finke with Hanni, her guide dog.

"Long Time, No See" is available free of charge on cassette or in Braille from the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically handicapped (NLS). Through a national network of cooperating libraries, NLS circulates Braille and audio materials postage-free to those prevented from reading due to blindness or physical handicap.

Eligible borrowers can contact NLS and ask for call numbers RC56482 (cassette) or BR14821 (Braille).

Please note that NLS cassettes are recorded on a slower speed and are unusable on standard tape players. If you do not have a special NLS tape player and feel you qualify for the NLS program, special tape players can be obtained by phoning the national Library Service for the Blind and Physically handicapped at: 1-888-NLS-READ (1-888-657-7323). More information is also available at www.loc.gov/nls.

Blue Marlin Publications is teaming up with Seedlings Braille Books for Children to produce a number of copies of "Hanni and Beth: Safe & Sound" in a special print-Braille format. Braille words will appear directly under the printed words, providing visually-impaired children and their sighted parents a wonderful way to enjoy learning Braille. Print-Braille books are also very popular with blind adults (or older children) who enjoy reading to sighted preschoolers.

To order a copy of "Hanni And Beth: Safe & Sound" in print-Braille, link to www.seedlings.org.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the standard print-only version of Hanni and Beth: Safe & Sound will be donated to Seedlings Braille Books for Children to help this non-profit, tax-exempt organization continue providing high quality, low cost Braille books for children.
