Save 10% on Your Entire Order (Enter code "Seniors" at checkout) Out of the Corner of My Eye Nicolette Pernot Ringgold In this revised edition, Out of the Corner of My Eye remains a personal and compelling story of someone who lived successfully with macular degeneration and who shares her struggles and her triumphs with people who are coping with the condition now. Although the text of the original is essentially the same, so that Nicolette Pernot Ringgold still tells her inspiring story in her own words, each chapter contains a new section entitled "Living with Macular Degeneration Today," written by Priscilla Rogers and Judy Scott of the AFB Center on Vision Loss and Esther Smith, a Board member at the Center, who adds her own recent experience with macular degeneration to provide important new insights for readers. The book's new sections present information on what has changed—and what hasn't—since Mrs. Ringgold adjusted to her own vision loss and on new techniques and products that are now available. The Resources section is completely new and expanded, providing sources of more detailed information and assistance. $29.95; paperback, ASCII disk or CD-ROM, or audio CD $15.00; online edition or downloadable MP3 file http://www.afb.org/store ____________________________________________________________ For families, friends, and caregivers.
