I thought the book would include visuals AND verbal descriptions - like any
other book I would purchase. Just wanted to let anyone else know there is
nothing but TEXT in it so to save a world of time and effort, I would have
bought the downloadable one instead of the large print one. I cannot read
the print at all, and will have to scan every page and use JAWS to read it -
I HATE to do that! So much time and effort, when I could have just seen the
visuals with my CCTV instead. So, if anyone else out there plans to get this
book, just want to let you know it is text only so you don't have to scan it
all like I will have to do.
to make this book more marketable the author definitely needs to include the
sighted world into the context of the book - would make sales much higher if
the book was accessable to blind and sighted folks alike. That would be SO
EASY to do -
Obviously, when the book is publised in 18 point text, one would expect the
book to be sold to people who can read 18 point text and therefore would
expect PHOTOs or illustrations. Does not make sense otherwise.
I am disappointed to say the least. It was expensive. Would have been less
expensive to just buy the downloadable version and I would have done that if
I had known up front. Just sayin.
