This catalog lists braille books produced by NLS for adult 

and young adult readers during 2005 and 2006. 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, where a page number directs you to the page where 

the book is described.

	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. Spanish books and books in 

uncontracted braille 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."

	Separate title and author indexes and a form for 

ordering books are provided at the back of the catalog.

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.
