Braille

While there are no mass-market "Gorean" books (the Gor series by John Norman) widely available for purchase in Braille, they can be found through specialized library services for the blind or through custom transcription.

1. The NLS Catalog (National Library Service)

The primary way to find these books in an accessible format is through the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS).

• Search the Catalog: You can search the NLS Union Catalog for "John Norman."

• Availability: While many niche or vintage science fiction series were recorded as Talking Books (audio), some have been transcribed into Braille or BRF (Braille Ready Format) for use with refreshable Braille displays.

• BARD: If you are a registered NLS patron, you can check the BARD (Braille and Audio Reading Download) website to see if digital Braille copies of the early Gor novels (like Tarnsman of Gor or Outlaw of Gor) are available for instant download.

2. Custom Transcription Services

If a specific title is not in the NLS library, you can have a print or digital copy converted to Braille through private organizations. These services are often used by students or collectors:

• Braille Works: They specialize in custom transcriptions and can provide quotes for converting existing text into Braille.

• Clovernook Center: They offer professional transcription, proofreading, and embossing for any print material.

• The Braille Bookstore: While they primarily stock popular titles (like Ranger's Apprentice), they sometimes handle special requests or can point you toward niche distributors.

3. Digital Braille (BRF Files)

Many readers now prefer eBraille. If you can find a digital text version of the books (which are widely available as E-books), you can use software like BrailleBlaster or Duxbury to convert the text into a .brf file. This file can then be read on a Refreshable Braille Display without the need for bulky physical paper volumes.
