The braille edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was ready the same day as the print edition. For those of you who don't know, this is a BIG DEAL. It's almost unheard of to have the braille edition available at the same time as the print edition. For some trivia regarding the braille edition: National Braille Press's version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will run approximately 1,100 braille pages; be packaged in ten volumes standing more than a foot high; occupy 15 inches of shelf space; and weigh approximately 12 pounds. To transcribe, proof, emboss, collate, and ship the braille edition will take approximately three weeks. Each book costs approximately $63 to produce, but National Braille Press sells the book at a comparative price to the print edition.
