Ian, if American copy right law can allow the Clinton book to be formatted
for the blind so quickly after publishing then it shows that the copyright
laws really aught to follow america's lead on that. I really would like to
read this book however, I'm thinking it'll be a good year or two before the
RNIB talking book service can get their hands on it to add to their library.
funnily enough, just two weeks ago I submitted a request on two books i
wanted to read; food nation and the Ashdown Diaries. i really expected it
to be a good year or two before that would ever been on their updated
catalogue. Just today the audio books came piling in and one of them was...
the ashdown diaries LOL! little did I know that they must have had that
added this year <grin>. There's me sending an e-mail requesting them to get
it and have it put onto Daisy cD for the TB service <laugh>.
yeah, that amused me. Yes, I'll be looking forward to the Clinton book and
maybe an update on copyright law that allows released books to be accessible
for us straight away.
Justin
