Mell Are large print books condensed?
In fact, large print titles are often the same size or smaller than their hardcover or trade paperback counterparts and weigh about the same as a traditional hardcover book. The common reaction to learning this fact is, “Well, to be the same size or smaller, they must be abridged.” This is also false.
Are large print books more expensive?
Since there are fewer words to a page, large-print editions are usually bigger than standard-print books. This leads to higher printing costs, and large-print editions are also usually more expensive as a result (something large-print readers will expect.)
Who publishes large print books?
Thorndike Press
What Colours are best for visually impaired?
Bright colors are generally the easiest to see because of their ability to reflect light. Solid, bright colors, such as red, orange, and yellow are usually more visible than pastels. Lighting can influence the perception of color: Dim light can “wash out” some colors, while bright light can intensify others.
