Book excerpt: Are you a current or former needlecraft enthusiast who also loves doing word search puzzles? Are you finding it increasingly difficult to read the smaller print in newspapers and other publications? Then this book is tailor-made for you! Adults with age-related vision changes or eye diseases like macular degeneration are unable to comfortably read regular-print books. At the same time, research has shown that solving puzzles can help keep our minds sharp as we age. Our solution to this problem? Create extra-large print activity books for adults with low vision so they may still reap the benefits of doing word search and other brain-booster puzzles. Jumbo-Print Word Searches for Needlecrafters is a collection of themed puzzles all about sewing, quilting, knitting, embroidery and more! Each puzzle includes a 13 by 15 grid with 18 words (both forwards and backwards) hidden in eight possible directions: horizontally, vertically and diagonally. We carefully formatted this book to enhance its readability for puzzlers with visual impairments. Special Features Include: Easy to read extra-large sans-serif fonts 30-point font size for word lists, 28-point for puzzle grids and solutions Bold black text on white paper for high contrast Well-spaced letters, words and lines Two-page puzzles with word lists on the left-hand page, grids on the right Full-page solutions at the back of the book Wider inner margins for easier removal of pages 8.5 " x 11" perfect-bound paperback Premium soft cover in a matte finish for reduced glare This lovely jumbo-print puzzle book would be a thoughtful gift for any occasion, including birthdays, Mother's Day and Christmas.
