What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
A large print edition of Peter Balakian's memoir 'Black Dog of Fate,' produced and distributed through APH's accessible media catalog. Large print formatting — typically 18pt font or larger — makes the text readable for people with low vision who still use print rather than braille or audio. This is a complete, ready-to-read book requiring no additional technology or setup. At $299, this reflects the specialized production cost of accessible format books rather than commercial print pricing; Federal Quota funds can offset the cost for eligible students with visual impairments. This is a single literary title, not an AT device — if someone needs a broader reading solution, a refreshable braille display, screen reader, or talking book service like BARD may better serve their long-term needs.
