PythonIsle is already available as a CD and DigitalDownload.


There are more titles in the works.

I've just downloaded Python Isle, I'm looking forward to listening as I drive to work tomorrow.
In some ways, I wish my commute was longer ;-)

This is good news, as none of Will's Doc Savage books are available for the
blind at this point. (Neither is The Red Spider) Though they aren't cheap,
at least they are available in some format.
If any enterprising soul out there is interested in helping this process
out, Bookshare.org needs volunteers, and Doc and other pulps would be a
great addition to their over 100,000 books -- it's a very underserved
segment of fiction at the moment for blind and print disabled folks.

So how does that work? I can't imagine they'd let me volunteer to read
MAN OF BRONZE. If I volunteer, won't they pick the book and probably
give me some bodice ripping Harlequin Romance?

Hey, that's what we THOUGHT the words were,
first time we saw the movie in the theater . . .

Nope. First off, it's digital text, not audio. Second, though I'm not
completely sure how this works, I've heard that volunteers get a choice in
what they scan and proof. This would explain some of the duplication in
their catalog. I'll try to find out more, but there's info on it at
www.bookshare.org.

Ah. I thought I was going to get to read Doc Savage novels aloud! I
take it the digital text is then read aloud by a computer voice?

Yep. And I checked -- anything someone wants to scan and proof, they'll
take. Probably not a good idea to do something they already have, though.

What would be great is if someone or several someones could scan original
pulps so we could get all the content, letters and all. I'm also interested
in eventually getting to check out some of the other adventure pulps as
well, as I've only read Doc so far.
