here. If you purchase the

reproduces the same large print text on
screen as in the book. There are
additional advantages of being able to
use the 'view -> read out loud'
facilities (Acrobat Reader 6.0 and above)

display zoom options.

have any queries, or for buying in
quantity or publishing in the UK then
please contact me peter.spurgeon@mebooks.co.uk
- The
latest product "Let Me Count the Ways
MP3-CD" is by Elizabeth
Spurgeon, spoken in the rich but clear
voice of Glenda Harper. It was produced
after discussion with RNIB, the Macular
Disease Society and local vision impaired
groups. It tells the story of Beth Teal
and how her life changed from being a
maid to a country Lady to being
well-to-do in the city. She eventually
found true love and happiness after an
unforeseen accident to her husband. Let Me Count the Ways is also
available as a large print spiral bound
book.
- Goodbye Ebenezer is another
novel by Elizabeth Spurgeon. It is the
amazing story of Paul Slade - an assumed
name after he had faked his death. From
being a labourer on the coal barges he
progressed through hard work and good
fortune to becoming a wealthy retailer.
But he never forgot his early life as a
simple shepherd and the drowning horse in
the quarry. A few paperback books were
produced by the Daily Mail in their 2005
Print Your Own promotion. It is now
available as a large print spiral bound
book from www.lulu.com/mebooks and there is
a stock of the book in silent DVD-video
format admin@timedown.co.uk When used
with a DVD player and TV this displays
pages of text with characters about 1
inch high. The opening menu gives ready
access to the start chapters of the three
main parts of the book and the player
controls of 'next chapter', 'fast
forward' 'fast reverse' 'slow forward'
and 'pause' are also very useful. It runs
for 6 hours at normal speed
- Allsorts One is a large
print book of short stories, poems and
quotations by Peter Spurgeon. Many of the
stories were designed for reading in
about 5 minutes to a Creative Writers'
Workshop. One of my customers described
it as an ideal book for reading in the
toilet. That certainly covers most of the
population as prospective customers!
- There
is a shortage of books in large print,
audio and braille formats. RNIB's Right
to Read campaign states "up to three
million children and adults are being
denied the right to read because they
have a sight problem dyslexia or another
reading disability" - writers and
volunteers can publish their own or
out-of-copyright material at no cost
using lulu.com
- Orders/enquiries
welcomed from Authors and Publishers.
