Product Description

The 2016 revision of Braille Formats aligns BANA’s braille formatting guidelines with Unified English Braille (UEB). With the implementation of UEB, some of the guidelines set forth in Braille Formats, 2011, no longer apply; some were updated. A wide variety of examples are included. (Appendix A contains a list of the most significant changes in this revision.)
