    How much is the moon writer worth

      depends how many exist, depends who’s interested, its not really about that. They aren’t particularly collectible as of yet. Really its more about the history

    Interesting. I've seen people learn moon if they don't have enough touch sensativity to learn braille, but I've never seen anyone actually write in moon.

      Wow, where did that happen? The RNIB store just stopped selling all Moon materials a couple years back. They only had labels at that point anyway

      @@CharliesDesk The last people I knew who learned to read moon were at my primary school in the mid to late 90s.

      How interesting! Jumbo braille is what the data supports for tactile sensitivity. I don’t was never intended to be taught to children, at least not in the 20th century.

    Your videos are always a treat!
    I'm doing some research on the history of braille, where could I contact you?

      I came upon an old braille book that has what looks like cut pages in the middle, but when you read it there is no missing content.
      So I was wondering if this was some old method of preserving braille? ie: Cut some pages in between so that the two braille pages dont touch each other and the dots are preserved?
      Did you happen upon this method in any old braille magazines/books?
