Thanks to Estelle for this update from the Isle of Wight Society for the Blind. Ed
Carol and Bob Bridgestock have joined forces with HarperCollins to come up trumps for visually impaired book lovers on the Isle of Wight.
The Bridgestocks have previously donated a number of their own books, including one audiobook of the DI Dylan series that had not yet been released to the public via their publisher Caffeine Nights Publishing.
Estelle Thomas, CEO of IW Society for the Blind said:
“Not only have the Bridgestocks persuaded American publishers to donate nine books to the Isle of Wight Society for the Blind, but they have worked with HarperCollins to arrange a 50 book donation, which has a retail value of almost £1,000.
“Once again we are indebted to this intrepid team for everything that they do for the visually impaired people on the Isle of Wight.”
Abigail Fenton, Senior Audio Editor & Producer at HarperCollins said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to donate HarperCollins audiobooks to the Isle of Wight Society for the Blind Audio Library.
“We believe that no reader should be excluded from our books, and only hope that those who use the library enjoy the audiobooks as much as we enjoyed producing them!”
