Permission needed to make Design Crochet by Mark Dittrick available in braille/electronic format for blind people

You know, David, if this is for your own use, I would think that you could get someone to read it for you and tape it. Do you have a local CNIB? They might be able to help you. Good luck.

Kather> Hi all,

A friend who wanted to record a CD of folk songs contacted the writer of each song to obtain permission to use the material. Since it is primarily one chapter that you would like to use, try contacting the person who wrote that chapter for their permission. DA

Katherine,

I want the book specifically in electronic format, it's much easier to search for text. And the woman who does this in Arizona does a fantastic clean job of scanning books.

Thanks

David

Da,

No, I want the entire book in electronic format. All that stuff written about the book is in fact a critique I found on the net.

Thanks

David

David, welcome BACK, it's been awhile, friend! I can't answer your query, but wanted to acknowledge YOU! Noreen

Yes Katherine and David tht is what I was going to suggest as well. I am sure they can help you out with that

Katherine,

Thanks, I have forwarded your info to Marjorie. In regard to Hawthorn Books, I googled them but didn't find any website of theirs, but did find a note saying the person thought that Hawthorn was "no longer publishing." And since my own scanning software is rather ancient, I'd like good quality scanning from someone else. I'll check with the company you mentioned too.

Thanks,

David

Noreen!

Hi again, it has been a while! Thanks for the re-welcome and the help you previously gave me with crochet stitches, I finally figured out that stitches are nothing more than repeating the same patterns of yoh, insert, sk st, sc, dc, ch, etc. And that's made my crocheting much more creative and enjoyable!

Cheers, wishing you well,

David

Els,

I have an 'alterior motive' in wanting this book in electronic format by the woman in Arizona - it will become available to other blind and visually-impaired people as well. Also, I simply prefer electronic format to tape or CD because it is so much easier to search for a particular section.

thanks,

david

You're welcome, David. I hope it works out for you.

Kather> Katherine,

David, That is a good motive, and I am sure that the publishers and designers would support you.

Kather> Els,

Katherine,

I accidentally deleted your message just now (re 'alterior motive'). Anyway, if you or someone else is interested, Marjorie's website is

has available books on crochet, knitting, cooking, and more, inelectronic and braille format. Cheers,

David

Thanks, David. I have bookmarked that for future reference.

Katherine

I found the following website that's named Hawthorne Books.

this be the one you're looking for? Lucille

BACK??? Okay, now I feel stupid... I just welcomed David to the newsgroup thinking that he was brand new. Oh well... he's new to me! LOL

Peace! Gemini

Lucille,

might very well be the one, I'll check. the spelling in the book critique was without an 'e' after 'hawthorn'...

*chuckle*

And Katherine, Scandex does loook like they'll be able to do the job too, thanks!

David

*chuckle* I've done that too, especially when there are loads of messages like in this group! *smile*

Just to confirm... I checked, hawthorne Books with the 'e' does not carry Design Crochet, it's a mostly-fiction publishing co and has been publishing since 2001 or so, whereas Design Crochet was published in 1978. Thanks for the tip regardless.
