History in the Making: The Story of the American Printing House for the Blind, 1858-2008
This beautiful history book by former APH Museum director Carol Tobe was commissioned to celebrate the company's 150th anniversary. Packed with rare details about the origins of APH, this 180 page book features rich photography, reproductions of tactile pages embossed from vintage printing plates, and an accessible audio book version read by APH narrator Jack Fox. The hardbound 12" x 12" book was designed by nationally known graphic artist Julius Friedman and features color photography by Geoffrey Carr. Five tactile pages from vintage books embossed on original APH presses using original plates are scattered throughout the book.
