What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 11, 2026
This is a printed reference manual establishing standards for creating tactile graphics — raised-line images used by people who are blind or have low vision to access diagrams, maps, charts, and illustrations. It's aimed at the professionals who produce these materials: braille transcribers, teachers of the visually impaired, publishers, and AT specialists who need authoritative guidance on line weight, texture, labeling conventions, and layout principles that make tactile images actually usable. You're getting a physical book, not software or a learning system — it's a professional reference that sits on a shelf and gets consulted during production work. Worth noting: this is the 2010 edition, BANA (Braille Authority of North America) is working on a revision, and APH has marked it as discontinued, so availability is limited to remaining stock.
