What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a braille edition of John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men,' produced by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) as part of their Louis literary database catalog. It gives blind and low-vision readers who use braille access to a commonly assigned literary text in a tactile format — the kind of book that would otherwise only be available in standard print. At 8 pounds, this is a multi-volume braille set, which is typical for a novel of this length transcribed into contracted braille. It's a complete, standalone reading product — no device or technology required beyond the ability to read braille. Federal Quota funds are available for eligible students, which is the primary funding pathway for most school-age blind students in the US; outside of that, the $227 price tag reflects the significant production cost of braille volumes.
