Latest voice recorder available

We're pleased to announce that the Olympus DP20 Notecorder has joined our online shop.

It has easy to operate buttons which are tactile and positioned in a logical order – it’s quick to get started. The built-in 1GB memory provides recording capacity up to 145 hours, depending on the quality and format. So you can pack quite a lot of material on this handheld recorder. It also blocks out unnecessary background noise when playing back recordings and is ideal for use in any place – outside or in.

With great features, high quality recording and intuitive design, the Olympus DP20 Notecorder is competitively priced at £39.99.

Love reading?

Stieg Larsson's popular Millennium Trilogy box set in DAISY format has proved to be a big hit with our readers. No wonder when you get to read three great books including; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

This excellent box set is guaranteed to keep you entertained this winter and also makes a great gift.

Lost for Words

You may have noticed our recent advertising on the radio and in newspapers. We are telling people about what a vital resource RNIB's Talking Books can be for children like Louie, who previously felt left out when his twin brother was discovering new characters and exciting worlds.

At the moment we are only able to make 1 in 20 titles into a Talking Book. To help us make more available, and reach more children with the magic of reading, visit our Lost for Words pages, or call 0845 345 0054.

Thank you for your support and happy shopping.

Best wishes

John Godber
Head of Products and Publications
