She is amazingly generous, another good thing about this program is they partner with APH (American Printing House for the Blind) and provide books to visually impaired children - usually accessible books are *DRAMATICALLY* more expensive so a blind child would not have many that could engage them - for example the once a year, limited quantities, special print-braille tactile books, if you don't order the one produced this year within 1 or 2 months of their appearance then you're not going to get them and they don't reprint because it's a special arrangement with LDQR to get them produced - this year's was Goin' on a Bear Hunt, much like the song, (and while their standard $59 one from the past is nice, and likely closer to what's sent, it's nowhere near as engaging) it has a tactile line through the story and a tactile 'map' at the end (segments of the 'grass' 'snow' etc in order) for retelling, $299. You can search the aph site or youtube for a better idea than I can describe.

I had to make the calculations once, and I found that braille books sold on average for 16 cents a page, while regular print books only sold for 2 cents a page. Meaning that a braille book can easily cost up to 8 times more than a regularly printed book.
