The printing press will then press hard enough to make the paper take the mold or take the shape of whatever's on the plate. The favorite bible of Helen Keller, the renowned blind and deaf author and lecturer, was printed at the American Printing House. But only her Book of Psalms from that bible is on display. See, braille takes up a lot of space. So if the entire bible were here, it would be taking up this entire corner.
Braille is bulky.
Braille letters cannot be reduced to tiny size the way regular type can be, because the raised dots would run together and be unreadable to the touch. Furthermore, when you bind a braille book, you're going to bind is loosely. If you bind it too tightly, you'll mash your dots. Public donations pay for the translation of Reader's Digest magazine onto cassette tapes and braille. The American Printing House even churns out federal tax forms in braille.
