The braille-books list is a moderated email list to announce the availability of newly-brailled leisure-reading books produced according to BANA standards for braille readers in the U.S. Subscriptions are open to anyone with an interest in the availability of braille leisure-reading materials; subscribers include braille-producing agencies, lending libraries, transcribers, proofreaders, and braille readers. Only announcements of in-progress or completed books will be approved; no files of books or discussion of books will be sent through this list. This list is not a substitute for listing books with Louis or any other index; this list is simply a means for speeding up the distribution process. Subscribers are expected to adhere to current copyright laws. The administrators of the braille-books list are not responsible for the quality of the braille.
