[Menvi-discuss] learning Mandolin

[Jeanie Willis]

I've found with our local blind library that if you ask they usually only
check their own catalogue.  But if you search the ABC catalogue and then ask
them for a specific book and tell them to get it from ABC you might have
more luck.  I know CNIB are an ABC partner as I have heaps of books from
them.

Having said that I just searched ABC for the word mandolin and came up blank
for any books or things on learning.  But try the one Steph mentioned.
