Plus all of the Serier of Unfortunate Events. The trouble is, when you go into Waterstones there are hundreds of books aimed at his age group. Then you look at this tiny shelf with a few audio books on it and it's a but sad really.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

We've literally spent thousands on books over the years. On our recent trip to the states we spent $200 on audio books. The paper versions would have been about $50.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

The RNIB have a library but its limited. He gets a load of braille books from them. Odd to think that Ian Brady could be the person typing them up.

My dad (totally blind) reads audiobooks all the time and has some sort of mp3 player that the RNIB provided. He never seems to have a problem obtaining what he wants.
He wanted a massively obscure audiobook recently and the only place I could find it was www.listening-books.org.uk. Didn't get it in the end, but their library looked pretty extensive.Qdos Contractor - IR35 expertsComment
