If the pictures are placed at the end of the book then numbering them
should not throw the rest of the book out of sequence.

Hi, Valerie, I'm speaking strictly for myself as a Braille reader, but
Ithink if those pictures are on unnumbered pages, don't number those pages asit
will
throw the rest of the book out of sequence. Maybe what you can do(if it
isn't too much trouble and you want to do it) is number the picturesand just
write
captions where appropriate. The way the NLS program handlesit is to put the
descriptions of pictures at the front or the back of thebook before or
after
the text. This isn't always so. I have a web Braillecookbook called The
Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook by Christopher Kimball, andit's quite disconcerting
for
me to be reading a recipe or something and comeacross a line that says
"text continued on page (name page number)". Thereason for the text interruption
was because there were charts or tableswith pictures with them. I don't
know whether this could be put down to badbook design or what. I wish that when
the charts or tables were firstmentioned, they would appear right after
that so the recipes I was readingwouldn't be broken up. Gripe, gripe, gripe! It
really depends on whether thepictures convey information the text does not.
If they're just pictures withsimple captions, then put them where the text
won't be interrupted. I'vealso just thought that at the end of each chapter
you could write "picturesin this chapter" but that might be too much work.
Just do what seems right.Regards, Kim. P.S.: This is not really anything
except my opinion on this.I've heard the saying that a picture is worth a
thousand
words, but since Ican't see them, they don't really convey that much to me
unless the captionsare described and then I think "That's interesting" (but
only in a mild sortof way). K. -----Original Message-----From:
