What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A large print edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, produced by the American Printing House for the Blind as part of their Louis accessible book database. This is for students with visual impairments who need print materials in an accessible format — specifically those who can read large print but cannot access standard-size text. The book is Federal Quota eligible, meaning students on state visual impairment caseloads can often receive it at no direct cost through their school or vision teacher rather than paying out of pocket. At 8 lbs, this is a substantial physical volume, so it's worth confirming the student can manage a book of that size before ordering.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Open and read — no setup required for the large print book itself. - With professional help
- A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) determines the student's appropriate reading medium (large print vs. braille) and submits a Federal Quota order through the state's APH quota coordinator.
- Quota ordering typically requires enrollment on the state's visual impairment census; coordinate with the district's TVI or vision specialist well before the school year.
