I do not know, but I think it is something to do with the fact that some
people prefer to send discs back individually, and then carry on with disc
two of a long book, knowing that talking Books will send the next book while
the reader is listening to disc two.  I recently had "The stand" by Stephen
King which was on three discs, which arrived separately on different days.
At the beginning of each disc it should say disc one of three, or two of
three, whatever, so there really should be no problem.  the wallets would
certainly take two discs, but three would be a tight fit.

Hi Justin and all, I'd be surprised if it was anything to do with the weight
of the package, as NLB are sending Braille books around the country all the
time, and even one volume of that would be a whole lot heavier than a couple
of CD's! I don't personally subscribe to the Talking Book Service, so can't
shed any light on why there might be this problem. Tracey.
