INTRODUCTION
Horizons is pleased to present its new catalogue for 2014. As you
scan through the pages, you'll find many additions as well as entries from
our previous catalogue. To make it easier to find what you need, we've
included a table of contents.
Since its beginning in 1977, Horizons for the Blind has worked very
hard to make cultural, recreational and quality-of-life experiences more
accessible and interesting for those of us who are blind or visually
impaired. This catalogue of materials is a part of these "access" activities.
Many of us have gone shopping or have had articles read with
exciting information about crafts or recipes--all of which are unavailable to
us. People who are sighted very often pick up a little book, glance through
it, and either use or collect the information. This opportunity is rarely
available to us.
Horizons' catalogue cannot possibly answer all needs. But this
collection of materials does begin to bridge that gap. All materials are
currently available in braille and large print. Prices for both formats are the
same.
We hope you enjoy our catalogue as much as we like putting it
together. We are constantly adding new titles, so be sure to keep track of
future issues.
And, let us hear from you! We would like to know your preferences.
You can help to build our collection to include your favorite items.
HOW TO ORDER
Send us a list in braille or print of the items you choose. PLEASE BE
SURE TO TELL US WHETHER YOU WANT BRAILLE OR LARGE PRINT.

you may place your order online at www.horizons-blind.org
8. Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for delivery.
SHIPPING COSTS

Matter is specified at the time the order is received.
For UPS shipments, please include shipping and handling charges
from the chart below. Remember, UPS will not ship to a P.O. Box. It will
only ship to a street address.

CLARK WEBER'S ROCK AND ROLL RADIO THE FUN YEARS: 19551975
Authors: Clark Weber with Neal Samors, Foreword, Neil Sedaka:
MIS29; $23.40
How many “ifs” have you had in your life? What if I could take you
back to when you were in your teens or early twenties and didn’t have a
care in the world?
What if I could tell you stories about your music and the people who
made it that you’ve never heard before?
How a teenager at a Brother Rice High School sock hop left her mark
in a very unusual place on a member of Paul Revere and The Raiders!
Or, the story of Larry Lujack and how a crazed pilot (me!) left him
ashen white and speechless while high over Chicago!
Or, a naughty girl named “Gloria” and what she did in her bedroom
that helped her become rich and famous!
And, last, but not least how the Monkees rode the “Last Train to
Clarksville” and almost made a monkey out of themselves!
I’m Mother Weber’s oldest son Clark. I was very much a part of your
rock and roll musical scene in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. As the Program
Director and Disc jockey at WLS radio in Chicago, I chose the music that
was played on that 50,000 watt rock and roll giant.
My new book includes a special CD that returns you to those fun
years. Come with me and we’ll go back in time to when rock and roll was
clean and the Chicago River was dirty. I can guarantee you that you’ll love
the trip!

THE AMISH COOK'S FAMILY FAVORITES & FACTS, Recipes by Lovina
Eicher, Facts by Kevin Williams, Editor: CB66 (2 volumes); $27.20
This is a charming cookbook, crammed with many family-friendly
favorites, cultural insights, and interesting tidbits. The Amish represent a
simple, faith-filled throwback to a quieter time in America, a respite from the
buzz saw world of the 21st century. In the Amish, for better or worse, we
find evidence of what we used to be. As the Amish cling to their reclusive
ways, plowing their fields with horse-drawn plows as scores of their
forefathers have done before, we find ourselves ever more interested in
these living links to another time and place.
Step foot in any Amish community and you'll find cookbooks cobbled
together by women in the church. Cooking is a favorite pastime among
Amish women, sharing recipes, trying new foods, and perfecting old ones.
As with most things the Amish create, this book is plain and simple, in
keeping with their customs. If you're wanting a fancy photo-filled cookbook
with color charts and beef burgundy recipes, this is not the book for you.
This book is filled with hearty, homey recipes with plenty of the quirks and
idiosyncrasies which come in a unique Amish cookbook. This book is
organized a bit like the recipe files found in most Amish women's kitchens-haphazard and chaotic, but delicious! You'll find many culinary treasures on
these pages. So enjoy the journey. Hopefully many of the recipes in this
book will become your family's favorites also. 428 pages

A SKILLET FULL OF TRADITIONAL SOUTHERN LODGE CAST IRON
RECIPES & MEMORIES: CB67 (3 volumes); $27.70
Compiled by the Historic Preservation Society of South Pittsburg:
CB67 (3 volumes)
On the stovetop or in the oven, the cooking performance of Lodge
cast iron is often hailed by grandmothers and other great chefs as better
than that of other cookware many times its price. The fact that it's almost
indestructible and is treasured as a family heirloom lasting for generations,
only underscores its remarkable value.
Mrs. Fay Marsh perhaps says it best when referring to her pineapple
upside-down cake, "I made this cake in a skillet that my husband
purchased from Lodge in 1932 for 38 cents. That black iron skillet has
never rusted and remains slick as a ribbon. I would love to see everything
that I have cooked in it for the last 70 years. That is a lot of Good Eatin’!”
A Skillet Full is not only a primer on the making of Southern
cornbread, but a sumptuous, mouth-watering collection of Southern comfort
foods. Cracklin' cornbread, crispy fried chicken, bubbling Brunswick stew,
piping hot jambalaya, pan-fried okra, fried green tomatoes, and bread
pudding laden with Tennessee bourbon sauce. Just a few reasons why
cast iron cooking is such a cherished Southern tradition. 438 pages

BEAR WALLOW SERIES
BEAR WALLOW BOOKS
How would you like to step back into a time when our country was
new and unsettled--when we weren't filled with malls, shopping centers,
and myriads of parking lots! Oh, it was quieter then: imagine being able to
hear the birds singing during the day, the choruses of crickets in the
evening, and experiencing the sound of rustling leaves falling on a crisp
autumn day. People knew how to do things themselves; they built their
houses, healed the sick and raised their crops. There were no prepackaged
goods, and you used a woodstove to cook your meals. This outstanding
series compiled by the Connor Prairie Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana
gives the history of the people as well as the recipes they used in daily life.
You'll read about their celebrations, learn about the fishing villages and find
out more about the explorations of Lewis and Clark. If you're interested in
getting back to the basics, these books are for you. Try one, or better yet,
get them all!
There are 40 books in all. Each book is $7.00. Save $60.00 by buying

IN THE CRAFT CLOSET
We have received a number of requests from our customers for craft
equipment. In an effort to comply with these requests, we are now offering
some of the Boye Needle Company products at a reduced price to supply
you with these needs. The more products you purchase from us at our
reasonable cost, the lower we can price our books and pamphlets. So,
even though our prices are lower than retail, we can reserve some of the
money you spend on these items and put it towards the higher cost of
braille or large print books. This way, you can save on products and your
books. Think of this when ordering gifts.

spread a layer of crushed eggshells around the plants." Marie Blahut,
Yorktown, Saskatchewan "For the freshest cut flowers, pick blooms early in
