I’m totally blind, and one of my favorite authors signed a book in Braille for me

Much to the bewilderment of other visually impaired people, I love to collect hardcovers of my favorite books. Something about being surrounded by the tangible evidence of the stories I love so much is beautiful and intoxicating, regardless of if I can read them that way.I bought a signed copy of The Black Prism by Brent Weeks, and in the additional notes, I happened to mention that I’m blind. Reading has always been a reliably accessible interest.His response was to not only sign my copy in print, but look into and successfully find a way to get the quote and signature in Braille.I am blown away by and incredibly grateful for the thoughtfullness of a gesture that he did not need to make. I value the concept of the signed books I have, but I never imagined I’d be able to open one and truly experience it in the same way as sighted readers do.I am so proud and grateful to be a reader. I hope so much that this is something that becomes more common.Photo of the signingThank you for such an overwhelmingly supportive response. Please note that I do not mind questions about life as a blind person; I know it’s hard not to be curious. 🙂 via /r/books https://ift.tt/3oJDQDH
