Holiday Gift List: Braille Calendars

RantWoman ordinarily flies into a lather when mention is made of winter holidays before Halloween. With that in mind, RantWoman encourages readers similarly scandalized to take note of a search term and feel free to come back later.

RantWoman has shamelessly written before of her halting Braille literacy. One way that RantWoman keeps trying to pick up speed is annual acquisition of one or more Braille calendars. Today's email brings tidings of one option. RantWoman is allowing herself to wonder why the nice folks at National Braille Press never spell out their company name, but is almost always deeply charmed by mention of Dr. Seuss.


Subject: NBP-Announce: Our print/braille Dr Seuss calendar returns!

2012 Dr Seuss Wall Calendar Print/braille edition, $13.99. All ages!

It's the return of a perennial NBP favorite! Throughout his life, Dr. Seuss had two goals - to make us laugh, and to make us think. He said, "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.... And that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

Our 2012 print/braille calendar includes twelve scenes and quotes from Dr. Seuss's books, each providing laughter and insight to help keep you inspired throughout the year. The calendar features the Cat in the Hat, a Fox in Sox, Horton, the Grinch, and eight more well-loved scenes from Dr. Seuss's imagination.

This wall calendar is 12"x12" (hanging on the wall it's 12" wide and 24" tall). The braille is included on clear plastic labels that go right over the print pages. And as always, our calendar features a Special Bonus - a sheet of sixty full-color stickers of Dr. Seuss's more famous characters to mark birthdays, appointments, and other important days.

Order very soon - the calendar always sells out! To order or read more about this book online, visit http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/2012SEUSS.html

Okay, okay, it is not necessarily fair to put competitors' products in the same post but here is the link for the 2012 Braille Calendar from American Printing House for the Blind.

RantWoman notes vagueness about price and mention of bulk orders for fundraising. HINT! RantWoman also notes that one year she failed to get a copy from her local blind consumer group and ordered it cheap at the last minute. RantWoman has no opinion yet about how she is going to handle orders this year.
