[Publib] Re: Large Type Travel Books

[amkleiman1 at aol.com]

 Greetings--



I have been involved with Large Print Books on both sides of the aisle--as

a librarian who buys Large Print and as consultant for Large Print publishers.

Large Print Publishers print small runs of titles that have a long shelf life.

Often the books are sold worldwide as well since the Large Print Book Publishing

Industry is International.  Travel Books thus have a short shelf life, are quickly 

outdated and thus are not good candidates ever considered for publishing.  What I might 

suggest is that you contact your state or regional library for the blind and handicapped.  

Perhaps they can record on tape the guide book that you need for your patron.  The other option

would be to photocopy and enlarge an already existing title and staple and bind it.
