Comments from a satisfied reader
"I have just completed reading your book: Windows 7 and Vista Explained. I found this book to be of very high quality, thorough and informative. I am a vision impaired person with quite good computing skills; yet I found that I learnt some important things from your text.
"I have recently transitioned from Win XP to Win7 and saw your book advertised in the NBP catalogue. I live in Australia and thus contacted the RNIB Exports department to order my multimedia version of the book. I also purchased the braille tactile diagrams which are an excellent production - really helpful!
"I particularly wanted to comment on how I found the work of the Narrator, Richard Burnip, to be superb. He maintained a strong, clear, well paced voice, with very good intonation for the whole 11 hours and 37 minutes. I think that is an excellent job considering the nature of the material which involves a lot of technical details, lists of keystrokes etc.
"I have certainly benefited from this purchase and have recommended it to my other computing VI friends. Thank you to all involved for putting a lot of effort in to producing a great resource."
