Abundantly illustrated and designed in a large format (11x11 inches), this book celebrates the history of an organization that began with one printing press in a school basement in Louisville, Kentucky and grew to occupy most of a city block. The changing technology, social attitudes, and cultural context of blind people in America are all part of the story as the organization grew to play an essential role in the lives of blind people for generations. Published by Butler Books for the American Printing House for the Blind. Tobe is a former director of the organization's Museum. (Annotation ©2010 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
