Blindman's Mail - How the Blind have been Served by the Post, by G Fryer. Published by Gavin Fryer, 2010. H/B, 165pp. A study of how mail has been adapted for the blind worldwide. The introductory chapter provides a background on the help that there has been for the blind, covering early charities and acts of Parliament, Louis Braille, and the RNIB. The development of special postal rates and the ‘Articles for the Blind' service are discussed in subsequent chapters, and tables listing postal tariffs complete the study. Related examples of letter cards, postcards, envelopes, wrappers, letters, and labels are illustrated in colour. |
