RHYW in the News and Online!
Bookseller + Publisher's October 27th issue announced RHYW's recent moveinto the New Zealand market, and a number of partnerships with New Zealand and Australian publishers. "ReadHowYouWant converts and republishes books in larger print sizes for visually impaired people who are unable to read books in standard print sizes...The Australian operation also converts and republishes books in Braille, audiobook and ebook formats."
Michael Covington, Information and Education Director of the ECPA, wrote a blog post for Brandilyn Collins's Seatbelt Suspense Forensics & Faith blog. "As there is no revenue stream for publishers (or royalties for authors) generated by accessible-content services such as Bookshare, most publishers will only occasionally license their content for large-print distribution (meaning 16-poing font) with companies such as Thorndike Press. Unfortunately, for many people affected by reading disabilities, a barely-larger font size doesn't solve the problem. Keep in mind that while Bookshare and NLS provide digitally produced audio files, not everyone has the equipment necessary to consume this media...RHYW has worked through all of these issues to provide a print-on-demand solution that allows the reader to pick the style of book they want…This model allows for additional revenue which is then shared with the publishers."

"Don Nori Sr. and his wife Cathy founded Destiny Image in 1983. They began the business from a small desk and rotary phone in the living room of their home.

RHYW Suggests!
Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics by William Lane Craig from Crossway Books is a title that RHYW is excited to have available to print disabled readers in braille and DAISY. William Lane Craig has revised and updated key sections in this third edition of his classic text to reflect the latest work in astrophysics, philosophy, probability calculus, the arguments for the existence of God, and Reformed epistemology. His approach—that of positive apologetics—gives careful attention to crucial questions and concerns, including, the relationship of faith and reason, the existence of God, the problems of historical knowledge and miracles, the personal claims of Christ, and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus.
