Large-print
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Large-print (also large-type or large-font) describes a type of book or other (paper, online or otherwise) published material in which the typeface (or font), and sometimes the medium, are considerably larger than usual, to accommodate people who have poor vision. Often public special-needs libraries will stock large-print versions of books, along with versions written in Braille.

Large print edititions frequently lack dust jackets as the sales are less than regularly printed materials, making the inclusion of a dust jacket non economical.
