I just read this myself the other week! I found it fascinating. Interesting comment about the braille not actually being readable. I too was wondering if a blind person could tell what the pictures are illustrating. Might be difficult…

I like this book, too. I’ve never actually closed my eyes as I’ve ran my fingers over the pictures, though.

My kids liked this one when we checked it out. It’s a really interesting concept.

this sounds really cool. You did a great job conveying what it seems like in person–tough to do online review of such a textile book. Also, I can’t imagine the e-reader edition would be that great.

Wow! This book sounds really cool, and actually makes me think it would be a good object lesson for discussing analysis with my students. I’ll definitely have to check it out!

What an interesting idea for a book. I have never heard of it before, but now I am interested. Might have to see if I can track down a copy of it so I can see for myself. I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to not know colours… Great review!

I guess it would be difficult to even imagine how it feels to not know colours. If a book attempted at giving us a view from the other side, I guess it will be worth a read.Thanks for showcasing this book .
