This catalog lists braille books produced by NLS for adult
and young adult readers during 1997 and 1998. The catalog is
divided into nonfiction and fiction sections, and each
section is divided into subject categories, which are
arranged alphabetically. Books in each subject category are
listed alphabetically by title and are described briefly.
Some books may appear in more than one subject category. For
instance, a collection of science fiction stories would
appear in "science fiction" and again in "short stories."
     Bestsellers are listed in their appropriate subject
categories and are also listed together in a separate
section.
     Books of particular interest to young adults are
listed after the adult fiction section. Young adult books
are divided into nonfiction and fiction and are not
separated by subject category. Grade 1-braille books are
listed after the young adults section.
     For your convenience, books containing strong
language, explicit descriptions of sex, or violence have a
notice to that effect immediately after the book
description. If the book contains only occasional or
infrequent occurrences of these things, the word "some" is
placed before the notice, as in "some strong language."
     In addition to the books listed in this catalog, NLS
has acquired some braille books in foreign languages and in
English from other producers. If you are interested in these
books, contact your braille-lending library. Because there
are only a few copies of each of these books, you may have
to wait for your selection.
