Hello -
Would you like to see more up-to-date programming manuals
available in electronic format? If so, please take 30
seconds (no kidding!) to send in the form letter below.
The letters received by Recordings for the Blind and Dislexic
are simply counted and considered when the time comes to add
new books to the E-Text library.
The form letter below is a request to add the X Window System
series of manuals from O'Reilly and Associates to the
E-Text library. The manuals are listed in the letter,
along with a short description of each.
One more thing - pass this letter along to anyone who might be
interested in a better electronic library. The more the merrier!
Send the letter to:
amcarthur@rfbd.org <Anne McArthur>
Please send a cc to me for tracking:
brian@henge.com <Brian Sellden>
Regards,
Brian Sellden
