Talking Books annual subscription (books only)

Product features

RNIB's Talking Book Service offers access to more than 20,000 fiction and non-fiction audio books, paid for by annual subscription and delivered directly to your door. From crime to classics, family sagas to spy stories, autobiographies to gardening, there is an audio book to suit every taste. You don't get a player with this subscription but they are available to buy from RNIB. A subscription plan that includes the loan of a DAISY CD player is also available.

Please note: If you want to renew an existing Talking Book Service subscription, or buy a gift subscription for someone else, and the delivery address is different from the billing address, please call our Helpline on 0303 123 9999. If you want to set up a new subscription for yourself, you can add it to your basket.

Product details

You can choose six Talking Books at any one time and as many as you want over the year. There are a variety of ways to choose books and you can also get support from professional librarians.

Our New Books magazine tells you all about the latest books available.

RNIB Talking Books on CD are produced in DAISY format, which stands for 'Digital Accessible Information SYstem'. This new technology holds up to 21 hours of recording which means that most books fit on one CD. You will need a DAISY player to listen to our Talking Books. We offer a choice of two subscription levels for the Talking Book Service - full loan (desktop player and books) or books-only (buy your own player and just receive CDs from us). A range of DAISY players is available for purchase from the RNIB Shop.
