This catalog lists braille books produced by NLS for adult and young adult readers during 
2007 and 2008. 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.

Books of particular interest to young adults are listed after the adult fiction 
section. Young adult books are divided into nonfiction and fiction but are not separated 
by subject category. 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.
