We will also introduce you to the world's first online braille and DAISY bookstore.

Leadership and Self-Deception
by The Arbinger Institute, authors of The Anatomy of Peace
Number 1 on the Berrett-Koehler bestseller list and Number 1 on ours. For the sixth month in a row, and with over 600,000 copies sold by the original publisher, Leadership and Self-Deception is also on the BusinessWeek Bestseller List! Would your stereotypical large print patron read this book? Probably not. But the numbers tell the story. Put this book into your collection, and it will circulate!
What's the big fuss over yet another leadership fable? A reader, upon finishing the book said, "I can't think about my life the same way again." That reader was not some corporate CEO or so called business-guru. That reader was Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jack Anderson. Jack was actually the scourge of the CEOs and power-brokers.
How many business fable books do you know that have won that kind of praise from a muck-raking Pulitzer Prize winner? Details at:

100 Ways to Motivate Others: How Great Leaders Can Produce Insane Results Without Driving People Crazy
by Steve Chandler, author of Reinventing Yourself and other titles.
Number one on the Career Press bestseller list and number three on ours. 100 Ways to Motivate Others draws on the success of live workshops, seminars, and personal coaching programs on communications and leadership.

Braille and DAISY, Anyone?
ReadHowYouWant proudly announces the opening of our braille and DAISY download store. We have braille and DAISY editions of all our titles. The braille books are BRF files, which can be used to create embossed braille books or read with a refreshable braille display. DAISY is a new electronic book format that synchronizes a view of the text on screen with an audio of the book. It is ideal for blind, dyslexic, and low vision readers.

Puget Sound Council for the Review of Children's Books
This venerable book review group comprises school and public librarians from the Greater Seattle area. They were kind enough to let me show them some sample books and make a brief presentation. I had thought that they would be most interested in large print children's books, but DAISY was what caught their attention. Several of them requested additional information on how they can use this new technology with their dyslexic, visually impaired, and ELL students and patrons.
