Abstract	This circular provides information about reading materials in large type, i.e., materials set in type that is a minimum size of 14-point and, most commonly, 16- to 18-point size. Most of the materials listed are typeset, but a few are photographically enlarged conventionally printed books or typewritten materials prepared using a large-print typewriter or a computer with large-font software. All the sources listed may be contacted directly. The first section of the circular lists 68 producers and distributors of large-type materials, including addresses, telephone numbers, type of materials produced or distributed, type point size(s), and price range. The second section lists selected large-type materials for reference and special needs under the following headings: (1) Adjustment to Visual Loss; (2) Bibles and Portions; (3) Classics; (4) Cookbooks; (5) Crossword and Word Maze Puzzles; (6) Dictionaries and Encyclopedias; (7) Hymnals and Prayer Books; (8) Magazines; (9) Music; (10) Shakespeare's Works; and (11) the United States Constitution. Eight sources of further information about large-type materials are provided in the final section. Listings of 16 additional National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped reference circulars and eight bibliographies are also included. (KM)
