| Featured Publisher Profile: Cleis Press Felice Newman, Founder and Publisher of Cleis Press, was interviewed by RHYW. When asked: Are there one or two titles that you are particularly excited to see available in accessible editions, and why? Felice answered, "Of course The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability. And our erotica catalog—because people with disabilities are often treated like children who must be 'protected' from such terrible things as sexually-explicit literature. And our recent bestseller Living Life As a Thank You: The Transformative Power of Daily Gratitude—simply because I am personally in love with that book." To read the full publisher profile, click here. Featured Cleis Press Title: Living Life As a Thank You by Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons—The Transformative Power of Daily Gratitude Whatever is given—even a difficult and challenging moment—is a gift. Living as if each day is a thank-you can help transform fear into courage, anger into forgiveness, isolation into belonging, and another's pain into healing. Will Glennon, author of Practice Random Acts of Kindness, praised that this book "can truly transform people's lives—our deep and abiding need to feel and live from a place of gratitude."

Baantjer (Speck Press), and The Illustrated Guide to Assistive Technology and Devicesby Suzanne Robitaille (Demos Medical).

Chris Stephens' Paper on Making Libraries Accessible for an Aging Population
Chris Stephen is the founder of ReadHowYouWant, and it is his vision of all books becoming accessible to all readers that drives the company. Here is a paper he recently presented at a conference on libraries and aging.
Six New Publishing Partners
As a result of a busy BEA meeting schedule, RHYW has signed six new publishing partners. Hay House (Carlsbad, CA) publishes inspirational titles by leading authors, including Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, whose latest book, Excuses Begone! appeared last week as #1 on The New York Times bestseller list. Renowned scientific publishing company, Springer (New York, NY), will begin partnering with RHYW on the re-issue of the popular Cherry Ames nursing series. Poisoned Pen (Scottsdale, AZ) is an independent publisher specializing in high-quality mysteries. The Harvard Common Press (Boston, MA) is one of the nation's leading publishers of cookbooks and parenting books. New Harbinger Publications (Oakland, CA) was recently featured in Publishers Weekly as a growing publisher of self-help, psychology, and health titles. San Francisco publisher Cleis Press publishes provocative, intelligent books in the areas of sexuality, gender studies, and human rights.
Hay House (Carlsbad, CA) was founded by Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life, which went on to sell over 35 million copies (and it's said she is the second bestselling female author of all time, after J.K. Rowling). RECENTLY DUBBED "the closest thing to a living saint" by the Australian media, Louise L. Hay is also known as one of the founders of the self-help movement. Her first book, Heal Your Body, was published in 1976, long before it was fashionable to discuss the connection between the mind and body. Revised and expanded in 1988, this best-selling book introduced Louise's concepts to people in 33 different countries and has been translated into 25 languages throughout the world.
Hay House is known for its bestselling authors in the inspirational, health and healing genre, including:
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Louise L. Hay, Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., Doreen Virtue, Gregg Braden, Sylvia Browne, Esther and Jerry Hicks (The Law of Attraction), Dr. Christiane Northrup, Montel Williams, and Suze Orman.
We will be starting out with all of Dr. Wayne Dyer's titles--including Excuses Begone!--as well as all of Louise Hay's titles, and more (essentially a combination of Hay House's top authors and top 100 bestselling titles).

Top 50 Bestselling Classic Authors
When ReadHowYouWant first started, we did a little research on the bestselling classic authors in terms of worldwide sales. We found some lists from the BBC and other sources in publishing and then kludged them together to create our own. Occasionally, we now get a question from a librarian who wants to select some popular classic fiction titles for her collection. In answer to that question, I am posting a list of top-selling authors. We have the complete works of most of them available in large print, DAISY and braille.
Here is the list. At the end of the list, I will add a few authors who should also be considered by librarians who are looking for popular fiction in large print. I apologize for not putting it into alphabetical order. This is more in the order that we re-typeset the books.
In some cases we have all of their works available. In others, we have not yet completed all of them. If you search by author on our web site, you can find them. If you would prefer a spreadsheet that you can sort, please let me know so I can email it to you.

Microsoft Typography - Features of TrueType and OpenType
Microsoft Typography - Features of TrueType and OpenType
Thanks to Claudia Kelley, the excellent ergonomist of Washington State Labor and Industries, for telling me about MicroSoft's ClearType Tuner. It lets you fine-tune the screen fonts on your XP or later Windows computer so that they work best for your eyes. I installed and configured it in about 3 minutes, and it seems to be working correctly. The fonts actually do appear clearer on my screen. I can hardly wait to see how it works with TiresiasLP.
If anyone else tries this, please let me know how it works for you.

Here are some of the titles we are featuring. Click on the titles for more information.
Beatrice Trum Hunter has written numerous books on food issues, including Consumer Beware: Your Food Whats Been Done to It (Simon Schuster, 1971), The Mirage of Safety: Food Additives Federal Policy (Charles Scribners Sons, 1975), The Great Nutrition Robbery (Charles Scribners Sons, 1978), The Sugar Trap How to Avoid It (Houghton Mifflin, 1982), and Food Your Health (Basic Health Publications, 2003). As food editor for more than twenty years at Consumers Research Magazine, her monthly columns and feature articles brought cutting-edge issues before general recognition. Hunter has received many awards and recognitions for her work.
A Whole Foods Primer demonstrates the wisdom of selecting whole foods for optimal intake of the nutrients essential for good health. In this book, readers will learn about the basic nutritional components of each whole food group and their specific functions and beneficial roles in the body. The text presents nutrient profiles and surprising facts about some hundred whole foods, their historical uses as food and medicine, and the latest research that identifies their health-bestowing qualities.
In this updated revision of his acclaimed book, Bursting with Energy, Dr. Frank Shallenberger makes a clear connection between the amount of energy you have and the amount of aging you do, pointing out that, in medical terms, aging refers to a loss of function, not chronology. A thirty-year old with no loss of function is identical to a twenty-year-old, he says. And the same is true for fully functional people in their sixties--they are the same as thirty-year-olds. According to Shallenberger, the loss of functions that result from aging are themselves the result of energy loss: more energy, less aging; less energy, more aging. When Dr. Shallenberger discusses anti-aging methods, he is actually talking about improving energy production. His work with patients over the years has proven that an energy deficit is the root cause of every disease and symptom, from cancer, to fatigue, to obesity.
Lihua Wang began her career as a cardiologist in the China Academy of Traditional Medicine, in Bejing, China. In 1982, she was invited by Kaiser Permenante Research Center as a visiting scholar and later selected by the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine to teach acupuncture and Chinese herbology to American students. She has been in private practice, specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, since 1992 in Portland, Oregon.
More than 1,000 effective remedies, a treasure trove of information you can use every day. Chinese Home Remedies is a book that offers an intriguing blend of traditional Chinese medicine - as practiced today - and a wide variety of ancient Chinese folk remedies. You'll often be surprised how easily a problem that has lingered for weeks or months can be cured! This book is a distillation of Ms. Wang's 30 years of clinical experiences as both a physician in China and an acupuncturist and herbalist in the United States. It explains in simple-to-understand language how to treat yourself or a family member using a variety of techniques, including Chinese massage, food therapy, Chinese herbal formulas, and folk remedies that have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Did you know that apple slices can ease itching skin, hooking your middle fingers together can stop a nosebleed, or that eating peanuts can lower your blood pressure? These are only a few of the more than 1,000 effective remedies that you will find in Chinese Home Remedies. By following just a few pieces of this book's advice, you will find yourself on a healthier life path.

New Publisher Partner: Bridge-Logos Publishing
Here is another new Publisher Partner in the Evangelical Christian Publisher Association (ECPA) group. They expect to be offering all of their titles in the standard formats and many as e-Books.
Bridge-Logos Publishing
Bridge-Logos Foundation is a Christian book publishing ministry based in Alachua, Florida. The company began in 1967 as Logos International Fellowship in Plainfield, New Jersey. Its first best-selling book was Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz. Some famous titles published by Logos are Nine O'clock in the Morning by Dennis Bennett, Prison to Praise by Merlin Carothers, and Prayer Is Invading the Impossible by Jack Hayford. All of these titles are still in print.
The company was purchased by Mr. Raymond Stanbury in 1981. He was the President of Valley Books Trust in Chepstow, Gwent, Wales, the largest Christian book distributor in Europe. He changed the name of the company to Bridge Publishing, Inc. and moved its offices to South Plainfield, New Jersey.
In 1991, Mr. Guy Morrell joined Bridge Publishing. Four years later he purchased the company and changed its name to Bridge-Logos, Inc. Under his administration, the company began publishing a very popular series—Pure Gold Classics—Christian classics that have been sense revised into modern English. There are now more than thirty titles in this distinctive line, including works by Spurgeon, Moody, Tozer, Bunyan, Wesley, and many others. Bridge-Logos Publishers eventually moved to Florida. The company has published many books by well-known writers, such as Dr. David Yonggi Cho, Liberty Savard, Ray Comfort, Jack Hayford, Kirk Cameron, and Kathryn Kuhlman. One of its best-selling works is The Evidence Bible, which was developed by Ray Comfort to help believers share their faith. Guy Morrell died in May, 2007. His widow, Catherine Morrell, inherited the company and decided to change it into a not-for-profit foundation so that books could be given to pastors and believers in underprivileged areas and to prisoners, as well.
We look forward to providing large print, braille and DAISY editions of their books.

I am pleased to announce that ReadHowYouWant has a new Publishing Partner: Demos Medical Publishing, specifically their imprint, Demos Health.
For more than 20 years, Demos has filled a unique educational need for physicians and other health care professionals as well as for people with disabilities and their families. The company publishes world-class texts in neurology, rehabilitation medicine, growing lists in oncology, pathology, and cardiovascular medicine, and acclaimed patient books in multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, epilepsy, stroke, spinal cord injury, and many others.
In October 2007, Demos Medical Publishing LLC. embarked on a new and exciting venture: the launch of its first health and wellness imprint, Demos Health. This imprint furthers the company’s mission of bridging the gap between consumers and the healthcare community, and help to fully distinguish between Demos’ existing professional and patient lines.
This move solidified Demos’ position among the leaders in patient health care publishing. Among the highlights in the Demos Health program are 101 Accessible Vacations: Travel Ideas for Wheelers and Slow Walkers, Mental Sharpening Stones: Manage the Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis: 300 Tips for Making Life Easier, Women, Work, and Autoimmune Disease, and Reduce Your Cancer Risk: Twelve Steps to a Healthier Life. Demos Health will continue to publish new editions of the company’s bestselling titles on such subjects as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy.
“We are committed to keeping the standards and quality that Demos is known for in our patient publications, while making the content and topic areas more accessible to a wider audience,” said Noreen Henson, Director of the new imprint.
As of April 8, 2009 there are 98 titles on the growing list of Demos Health books; they plan to load an initial batch of 60 titles in our system during the next few weeks. We should have them available for sale in our editions beginning in May.

Interactive Publications is another outstanding Australian publisher. The Herald Sun said of Another, “…in a word, compelling.” Joel Deane’s novel follows teenagers Toby and Suzie through their aimless wanderings, ghosts of the past, and violences with “unflinching and gritty realism and a sophisticated lyric beauty,” according to Charles Wilmoth of Intersection for the Arts. Easter at Tobruk by Michael O’Sullivan explores the changing values in Australia since WWII by focusing on two Easters, one in 1941, and another 50 years later. The novel combines historically accurate details about battles with fictitious characters. The Judges for the IP Picks Best Fiction Award 2006 called it, “An enticing work peppered with a glistening sense of magic realism…”
To support Interactive Publications’ goal of reaching new audiences, RHYW is offering their accessible additions at 40% off through the end of June. Contact me to place your orders. All Interactive titles available from RHYW may be viewed at here.
