Shouldn't they be the same price as the book they printed (in fact they
should cost less given the lack of overheads)
Anyone from the RNIB got anything interesting to add to this thread?

This is interesting. But how much are we talking about - Cost-wise?
Thanks

Pearsons were great at responding to us, try Nicki Bannister of the
contracts dept. They sent us the 2 books we requested on CD ROm within
a week.
We always try revealweb first http://www.revealweb.org.uk/

Has anyone had any success getting books electronically, I've emailed
the publishers at permissions @ Pearson and the RNIB library, no
response from either, principally I am looking for books to support
visually impaired students on Business and computing courses, electronic
versions preferable. Anyone got any good ideas?
