Overview

This guide lists the book numbers assigned to NLS-produced audio and braille books, beginning with audio books numbered RD 6000 to current and with braille books numbered BR 4551 to current. It shows the ranges of numbers assigned to the variety of audio books.

Ranges of numbers were assigned to audio books narrated in Spanish (designated S in the list) or Spanish and other foreign languages (designated FL in the list). For both audio and braille books, some numbers have not been used. These numbers are shown in the last column of the tables.
