Book Description

April 1, 1999
Like our entire Harvard Ranch series of books, this unique volume of well known verses from the Bible was designed to enrich the lives of elderly people. The familiar verses, large print type and high-contrast photographs help engage and stimulate older adults who may be struggling with memory loss, low vision or simply boredom.

The Harvard Ranch Publishing series of books is a completely unique way to communicate with the millions of elderly adults.

This is a 9 x 12 hard cover book with extremely large print familiar verses from the Bible. Each Verse is accompanied by a large photograph of a beautiful stained glass window. The binding is very unique in that it allows the pages to lay flat when open.

Our goal is to develop books which connect people with visual impairments to the world around them. The books were created with input from ophthalmologists, health care providers and the visually impaired themselves. Our concept of bringing together very large print and colorful images in an accessible, intelligent format may be a simple idea, but it fills a need that has never been addressed before.

Digitally (computer) enhanced photographs -this technique was developed strictly for these books. We've increased contrast and limited colors of similar value whenever possible. We've maximized ink coverage and used extremely vivid imagery. The large, 9 x 12 page creates an exciting canvas of color and helps to illustrate the accompanying copy.

Extremely large print (48pt-headline size)- for anyone who enjoys the written word, the large print text is stimulating and refreshing.

High-quality construction- these durable hardcover books have an internal spiral binding which that allows the pages to lay perfectly flat when open.

Non-glossy paper - sturdy museum-quality, matte-finish paper for easier readability and page turning.

Thoughtful, innovative design - the overall content and physical presentation of the books is warm and dignified. It is simple, clear and well-designed.

Detailed appendix - in the back of each book is a section of 18 pt type which contains detailed information pertaining to the selections, authors or photos in the previous pages.


Editorial Reviews

Review

This sensitive and unique series of books offers invaluable opportunities for those of us in the health care field. Their possibilities go far beyond just the visually impaired; they are thoughtfully designed for older people, as well as stroke victims, Alzheimer's patients and those with other problems associated with aging. These are the books we've been waiting for!" -- Dot Kellar, Owner/Director, Creative Care Center, Cocoa Beach, FL

About the Author

My mother, inspired during an outing with a visually impaired friend, came up with the idea for this series of books. My parents, Kathy and Paul Reinhold, have often tackled difficult humanitarian and conservation projects. Designing and publishing a series of books was something entirely new for them. That is where my husband, Bill, and I stepped into the picture. As graphic designers, we were the next link in the chain connecting inspiration and creation. The result is this series of books.

When we're not working at the ranch, or in the studio in Montana, Bill and I have been running our graphic design business from an old motorhome complete with a portable computer, scanner and printer. Many of the photos in "Hymns" and "Verses" were taken during our journeys on the road. With two small boys and two big dogs, life is always full of unexpected surprises.

This review is from: Very Large Print Verses from the Bible (Hardcover)
this is a beautiful hardcover book with a color stain-glass picture with each scripture verse. My only complaint, is it have a limit of pages. I was hoping it would have more content. My father had Alzheimers and enjoyed looking at the pictures.
