Re: lynx-dev [Off-topic] 'Talking books' for the blind

[Laura Eaves]

Talking books on cassette are recorded on 4 tracks in a non-standard format
and speed and require a special machine which is loaned for free from
recording for the blind.  You can also buy a "talk-man" (walkman that
plays 2 or 4 track cassettes) from the Lighthouse.

Hope that helps....
