Blind people audio books
We've been poking at audio books, and have stumbled over several that we can only conclude must have been recorded for the blind. The bland gentleman reads the copyright, the dedications, the back cover--everything. And then there was this little aside:
"The maps printed in this book will not be included in this recording."
Does that seem strange? Are maps ever included in audio recordings?
"Um, there's an island kind of shaped like...well, I want to say a..shoe? A boot maybe? It's right next to the big compass, and uh... it's got some little drawings of trees and that seems to be a bird...? A mountain, maybe?"
