Ray,
There is indeed a discussion list for Talking Book and audio book readers.
There is a link to it on www.whitestick.co.uk. To join send the usual blank
email to RNIBTalkingBooksArena-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find out who is reading particular RNIB talking books by searching
the online catalogue at http://info.rnib.org.uk/tbookcat/Pages/Search.asp.
Iain.

Prompted by Andy's last comment, I wonder if there is a discussion list for
talking book and audio book readers? If so, then what I'm about to comment
on could far better be said on such a list.
Regarding info supplied by RNIB about its talking books for sale,you are
quite right Andy, they usually do not give reader details and I would guess
that if you go back not very far in history a lot of the readers' names
wouldn't mean anything to those other than seasoned RNIB TB subscribers,
that is if the reader's name was provided. That's where experience would
come in as to whether or not you liked the style of the reader suffieciently
to want to buy the book. I'd like to know, by the way, whether the Captain
Correlli's Mandolin reading in the RNIB list is the commercial one that I
have on cassette unabridged.
Some might say though that, at the price, you cannot go far wrong. These
books are very cheap and do compare with the sort of price you might pay for
an ordinary paperback edition, and that has to be a good thing.
So, if anyone does have info on a TB discussion list, pleas let us know, and
feel free to email me off-list if you can add anything more to my comments.
Hoping all of you are having a good Christmas celebration.
Ray

| Hi Ray -
|
| Used your link to the RNIB list of daisy books for sale, and while it says
| that the HP books are read by Stephen Fry, for others, such as Cloud Atlas
| that I am interested in, they don't give the reader, but do say it's an
RNIB
| publication which leads me to suspect that it will be some unknown reader
of
| their own! and this puts me off!
