It's been son long since the end of WWII that many are not even aware of the horror. Anything that helps people understand, and the need to be more aware today is welcome. Try and get people to read this. It's IMPORTANT!

A terrific improvement that helps everyone. Means people with vision disabilities will have access to a greater range of books and authors will see expansion in their book audience.

B&N Agrees to Acquire Books Inc. The Bay Area indie bookseller is seeking bankruptcy court approval to be acquired by Barnes & Noble for $3.25 million after filing for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 in January.

Sad to see so many long-standing #book companies struggling. Good to have someone willing to acquire them and then let them continue under their previous identity. #Readers will be grateful. tinyurl.com/35vm68ww
