Transportation and Communication series. A blandly written, somewhat incomplete text describes some of the equipment used for reading and writing in Braille and explains how Louis Braille created this system. The book is liberally illustrated with color photos of blind individuals (some well-known) and two-dimensional examples of Braille letters and numbers. Reading list, timeline, websites.
