There is or was a group called The Princeton Braillists that produced great
maps!!

Hi, Back in the early 80's I remember there was a copypanycompany that did
road maps in Braille. Back then they were about $2.50 a page. You  might
want to do a search on Braille maps.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] How Do You Handle Maps?



I'm doing one of these fantasy books with a map on facing pages at the
beginning.  The submitter actually scanned those pages, and while the map
obviously isn't here, there is a list of towns at the bottom of one map that
came out rather well, as well as a couple of names in the map itself.



I was wondering whether I should write something here about there being a
map in the print edition which is not reproduced here or something like
that, or just leave things as they are.



Is there some consensus here from people who have done books with maps
before.



By the way, I'd love to get accessible maps from some of my favorite fantasy
series, such as Tolkien's, Jordan's, Martin's, Brooks, etc.  But anyhow,
what do people generally do about these things?



Thanks.
