Answer 1: It's a booklet.
Answer 2: Of course I can.

(only kidding, I'm in one of those moods)
It is a list of periodicals available in special media to blind and
disabled people throughout the country. Part 1 lists all magazines
produced by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically
Handicapped (NLS), Library of Congress, for its free reading program.
Those mags are available at no charge through cooperating libraries to
persons who are unable to read or handle conventional print materials.
Eligible persons must be residents of the U.S. or American citizens
living abroad.
Part 2 lists magazines that are not part of the NLS reading program.
They must be ordered from their producers. Some are free, some are by
paid subscription.
The magazines are arranged alphabetically, by medium (braille,
cassette, disc, large type and Moon type, most Braille mags are grade 2
and most discs play at 8 rpm. Cassettes at 15/16 or 1 7/8 ips.)
The only address I can find on the booklet is CMLS, P.O. Box 9150,
Melbourne, FL 32902-9150.
I got mine from the Vision Foundation, 818 Mt. Auburn Street,
Watertown, MA 02172. They'll send you their catalog free, then you can
order this and other nifty stuff. There is a charge for some items and
a $3.00 shipping and handling fee for up to 10 items.
