[Publib] Books by and about people with disabilities - the list

[Brent, Gerry]

Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for the subject books.
Surprisingly, there was very little duplication.  I've tried to
eliminate duplications but some may have sneaked in.  I will attempt to
put the list in this message.  If it doesn't come out or it's too
muddled, please feel free to send me an e-mail and I'll send it to you.
There are two separate lists as one of the lists was in pdf format
(thanks to Jennie J. Stoltz, Director, Pewaukee Public Library).  I
believe we can't put attachments on Publib, so if you'd like the pdf
version, please let me know.
