This publisher states n their website that they only provide accessible copies of their books to Bookshare. I have not been able to get anything from them.

Good luck!

Hello All!

I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with the publishing company Penguin Random House on getting books in accessible format?

I have reach out to them a few times and keep getting the response "we don't have that book in accessible format/PDF"

I am trying to get the book Nicomachean Ethics (ISBN: 9780140449495)
I have looked on bookshare and accesstext doesn't work with that publishing company.

Any suggestions on how to get this book before I have to resort to cutting and scanning it?

Thank you in advance.
