We decided to create a large-print hardcover book because some readers prefer this format--especially low vision readers. We selected Clubfoot Connections to try out this idea. It's the first time we've worked with large print as a publisher.
How we developed this new format
We knew we would need to reformat the inside of the book and after some research and experimenting, we found it was better to design a larger sized book so that the pages look nice with the larger text. We chose to make this new book a hardcover in case libraries or nonprofits might like books to share with more than one reader.
After we finished formatting all the pages of the book, we had Streetlight Graphics adjust the cover design and add the words LARGE PRINT. (They designed the original cover for Clubfoot Connections.)
We ordered a printed sample, and after some waiting the book came in the mail this week. It looks great! For those of you who want more, here are pictures of when Betsy opened the box and flipped through the new large-print book!
