Boston, MA - July 15, 2005 - After much anticipation, the sixth book in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," will be released tomorrow. And for the first time, blind readers will have a Braille edition available on the same day. This comes as a result of an agreement between Publisher, Scholastic Press, and the National Braille Press in Boston.
Although the Braille version of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" consists of eight volumes and weighs 11 pounds, it costs the same as the sighted version.
